Mr Ramsbottom asked, <br>As his hand to his pocket did dip. <br>Ted said: "Same for three as it would be for one, <br>Per tuppence per person per trip." </p><p>"You're not charging tuppence for that little lad?" <br>Said Mother, her eyes flashing wild. <br>"Per tuppence per person per trip", answered Ted, <br>"Per woman, per man, or per child". </p><p>"Fivepence for three, that's the most that I'll pay", <br>Said Father, "Don't waste time in talk". <br>"Per tuppence per person per trip", answered Ted, <br>"And them, as can't pay, 'as to walk!" </p><p>"We can walk, an' all", said Father. "Come Mother, <br>It's none so deep, weather's quite mild". <br>So into the water the three of them stepped: <br>The father, the mother, the child. </p><p>The further they paddled, the deeper it got, <br>But they wouldn't give in, once begun. <br>In the spirit that's made Lancashire what she is, <br>They'd sooner be drownded than done. </p><p>Very soon, the old people were up to their necks, <br>And the little lad clean out of sight. <br>Said Father: "Where's Albert?" And Mother replied: <br>"I've got hold of his hand, he's all right!" </p><p>Well, just at that moment, Pa got an idea <br>And, floundering back to old Ted, He said: <br>"We've walked half-way. Come, tak' us the rest <br>For half-price, that's a penny a head." </p><p>But Ted wasn't standing for none of that there, <br>And, making an obstinate lip, <br>"Per tuppence per person per trip", Ted replied, <br>"Per trip, or per part of per trip". </p><p>"All right, then", said Father, "let me tak' the boat, <br>And I'll pick up the others half-way. <br>I'll row them across, and I'll bring the boat back, <br>And thruppence in t'bargain I'll pay". </p><p>He got Mother out, it were rather a job, <br>With the water, she weighed half a ton, <br>Then, pushing the oar down the side of the boat, <br>Started fishing around for his son. </p><p>When poor little Albert came up to the top, <br>His collar were soggy and limp. <br>And, with holding his breath at the bottom so long, <br>His face were as red as a shrimp. </p><p>Pa took them across, and he brought the boat back, <br>And he said to old Ted on the slip: <br>"Wilt' row me across by me'self?" Ted said: <br>"Aye, at per tuppence per person per trip". </p><p>When they got t'other side, Father laughed fit to bust. <br>He'd got best of bargain, you see. <br>He'd worked it all out, and he'd got his own way, <br>And he'd paid nobbut fivepence for three!</p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTxzTBDg-mZyHJrtqhWDbcCKLfUYuJiWcH8clGrdemxTDHJDTdmXAGovJ-Lmk8eDl2iZ-BFK3ugYju_/pub" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><i>SUPERLATIVE episode transcript</i></a></p>

The noise in this room was perfectly tumultuous, for there were more children there, than Scrooge in his agitated state of mind could count; and, unlike the celebrated herd in the poem, they were not forty children conducting themselves like one, but every child was conducting itself like forty. The consequences were uproarious beyond belief; but no one seemed to care; on the contrary, the mother and daughter laughed heartily, and enjoyed it very much; and the latter, soon beginning to mingle in the sports, got pillaged by the young brigands most ruthlessly." </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://librivox.org/a-christmas-carol-dramatic-reading-by-charles-dickens/" data-link-type="url" contents="Dramatic reading of A Christmas Carol on Librivox (featuring narration by Elizabeth Klett)">Dramatic reading of <i>A Christmas Carol</i> on Librivox (featuring narration by Elizabeth Klett)</a> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/46/46-h/46-h.htm" data-link-type="url" contents="A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens (full text on Gutenberg.org)"><i>A Christmas Carol</i> by Charles Dickens (full text on Gutenberg.org)</a> </p><p> </p><p>Background music for bonus "GET IT?!?!?": <a class="no-pjax" href="https://freepd.com/music/Happy%20Whistling%20Ukulele.mp3" data-link-type="url" contents='"Happy Whistling Ukulele"'>"Happy Whistling Ukulele"</a> by <a class="no-pjax" href="https://freepd.com/upbeat.php" data-link-type="url" contents="Rafael Krux">Rafael Krux</a> </p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://www.bartleby.com/250/83.html" data-link-type="url" contents='"The Bells of Shandon" by Francis Mahony'>"The Bells of Shandon" by Francis Mahony</a> </p><p> With deep affection and recollection </p><p> I often think of those Shandon bells, </p><p> Whose sounds so wild would, in the days of childhood, </p><p> Fling round my cradle their magic spells. </p><p> On this I ponder where'er I wander, </p><p> And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, of thee; </p><p> With thy bells of Shandon that sound so grand on </p><p> The pleasant waters of the River Lee. </p><p> I've heard bells chiming full many a clime in, </p><p> Tolling sublime in cathedral shrine; </p><p> While at a glib rate brass tongues would vibrate;-- </p><p> But all their music spoke naught like thine. </p><p> For memory dwelling on each proud swelling </p><p> Of thy belfry knelling its bold notes free, </p><p> Made the bells of Shandon sound far more grand on </p><p> The pleasant waters of the River Lee. </p><p> I've heard bells tolling old Adrian's Mole in, </p><p> Their thunder rolling from the Vatican; </p><p> And cymbals glorious swinging uproarious </p><p> In the gorgeous turrets of Notre Dam. </p><p> But thy sounds were sweeter than the dome of Peter </p><p> Flings o'er the Tiber, pealing solemnly; </p><p> O, the bells of Shandon sound far more grand on </p><p> The pleasant waters of the River Lee. </p><p> There's a bell in Moscow; while on tower and kiosk O! </p><p> In Saint Sophia the Turkman gets, </p><p> And loud in air calls men to prayer </p><p> From the tapering summits of tall minarets. </p><p> Such empty phantom I freely grant them; </p><p> But there's an anthem more dear to me; </p><p> 'Tis the bells of Shandon that sound so grand on </p><p> The pleasant waters of the River Lee.</p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mdo16PzfGmhKCpR2L3KPd_cQ0qOtNgM9F8e05J0zKKo/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><i>UPROARIOUS episode transcript</i></a></p>

</p><p> And first few scattering sparks about were blown, </p><p> Big with the flames that to our ruin rose. </p><p> 218 Then in some close-pent room it crept along, </p><p> And, smouldering as it went, in silence fed; </p><p> Till the infant monster, with devouring strong, </p><p> Walk'd boldly upright with exalted head. </p><p> 219 Now like some rich or mighty murderer, </p><p> Too great for prison, which he breaks with gold; </p><p> Who fresher for new mischiefs does appear, </p><p> And dares the world to tax him with the old: </p><p> 220 So 'scapes the insulting fire his narrow jail, </p><p> And makes small outlets into open air: </p><p> There the fierce winds his tender force assail, </p><p> And beat him downward to his first repair. </p><p>225 At length the crackling noise and dreadful blaze </p><p> Call'd up some waking lover to the sight; </p><p> And long it was ere he the rest could raise, </p><p> Whose heavy eyelids yet were full of night. </p><p> 226 The next to danger, hot pursued by fate, </p><p> Half-clothed, half-naked, hastily retire: </p><p> And frighted mothers strike their breasts too late, </p><p> For helpless infants left amidst the fire. </p><p> 227 Their cries soon waken all the dwellers near; </p><p> Now murmuring noises rise in every street: </p><p> The more remote run stumbling with their fear, </p><p> And in the dark men jostle as they meet. </p><p> 228 So weary bees in little cells repose; </p><p> But if night-robbers lift the well-stored hive, </p><p> An humming through their waxen city grows, </p><p> And out upon each other's wings they drive. </p><p> 229 Now streets grow throng'd and busy as by day: </p><p> Some run for buckets to the hallow'd quire: </p><p> Some cut the pipes, and some the engines play; </p><p> And some more bold mount ladders to the fire. </p><p>231 A quay of fire ran all along the shore, </p><p> And lighten'd all the river with a blaze: </p><p> The waken'd tides began again to roar, </p><p> And wondering fish in shining waters gaze. </p><p> 238 Now day appears, and with the day the King, </p><p> Whose early care had robb'd him of his rest: </p><p> Far off the cracks of falling houses ring, </p><p> And shrieks of subjects pierce his tender breast. </p><p> 239 Near as he draws, thick harbingers of smoke </p><p> With gloomy pillars cover all the place; </p><p> Whose little intervals of night are broke </p><p> By sparks, that drive against his sacred face. </p><p> 240 More than his guards, his sorrows made him known, </p><p> And pious tears, which down his cheeks did shower; </p><p> The wretched in his grief forgot their own; </p><p> So much the pity of a king has power. </p><p> 241 He wept the flames of what he loved so well, </p><p> And what so well had merited his love: </p><p> For never prince in grace did more excel, </p><p> Or royal city more in duty strove. </p><p> 242 Nor with an idle care did he behold: </p><p> Subjects may grieve, but monarchs must redress; </p><p> He cheers the fearful, and commends the bold, </p><p> And makes despairers hope for good success. </p><p> 243 Himself directs what first is to be done, </p><p> And orders all the succours which they bring, </p><p> The helpful and the good about him run, </p><p> And form an army worthy such a king. </p><p> 244 He sees the dire contagion spread so fast, </p><p> That, where it seizes, all relief is vain: </p><p> And therefore must unwillingly lay waste </p><p> That country, which would else the foe maintain. </p><p>278 And now four days the sun had seen our woes: </p><p> Four nights the moon beheld the incessant fire: </p><p> It seem'd as if the stars more sickly rose, </p><p> And farther from the feverish north retire. </p><p>280 At length the Almighty cast a pitying eye, </p><p> And mercy softly touch'd his melting breast: </p><p> He saw the town's one half in rubbish lie, </p><p> And eager flames drive on to storm the rest. </p><p> 281 An hollow crystal pyramid he takes, </p><p> In firmamental waters dipt above; </p><p> Of it a broad extinguisher he makes, </p><p> And hoods the flames that to their quarry drove. </p><p> 282 The vanquish'd fires withdraw from every place, </p><p> Or, full with feeding, sink into a sleep: </p><p> Each household genius shows again his face, </p><p> And from the hearths the little Lares creep. </p><p> 283 Our King this more than natural change beholds; </p><p> With sober joy his heart and eyes abound: </p><p> To the All-good his lifted hands he folds, </p><p> And thanks him low on his redeemed ground. </p><p>285 By such degrees the spreading gladness grew </p><p> In every heart which fear had froze before: </p><p> The standing streets with so much joy they view, </p><p> That with less grief the perish'd they deplore. </p><p>286 The father of the people open'd wide </p><p> His stores, and all the poor with plenty fed: </p><p> Thus God's anointed God's own place supplied, </p><p> And fill'd the empty with his daily bread. </p><p> 287 This royal bounty brought its own reward, </p><p> And in their minds so deep did print the sense, </p><p> That if their ruins sadly they regard, </p><p> 'Tis but with fear the sight might drive him thence. </p><p> 288 But so may he live long, that town to sway, </p><p> Which by his auspice they will nobler make, </p><p> As he will hatch their ashes by his stay, </p><p> And not their humble ruins now forsake.</p><p> </p><p><a class="no-pjax" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/18jfdj0m7UyjtPGH2dRbd0T0179iQIapYBs-mUJHCBkM/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-link-type="url"><i>ANNUS MIRABILIS episode transcript</i></a></p>

She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of admiration to so great a man; and yet that he should look at her because he disliked her, was still more strange. She could only imagine, however, at last that she drew his notice because there was something more wrong and reprehensible, according to his ideas of right, than in any other person present. The supposition did not pain her.
