0:00.0	It's late on the morning of May 7th, 1915, the last day of your honeymoon cruise.
0:07.2	You have just woken from a dream. You were alone somewhere in a deep woods,
0:11.5	chipping away on a stone with a hammer and chisel. The message being that you were among
0:15.8	the last remaining survivors of a new English colony on the coast of the new world.
0:20.8	Your spouse has been killed by Indians. And should anyone find this stone,
0:25.7	your entire need of rescue. And then your eyes open. It was just a bad dream.
0:33.0	You are awake in a nicely furnished honeymoon state room aboard a luxury liner about to arrive in
0:37.6	Liverpool. Your spouse is sleeping peacefully beside you. This is the last day of your honeymoon

1:32.5	who tells wonderful stories. Just yesterday you were sharing lots with Mr. Froman and Mr. Jolovet.
1:38.3	Mr. Froman was the first to speak. Here we are landing tomorrow and I must say I'm deeply
1:43.2	disappointed, he said, with a smile. Whatever for, ask Mr. Jolovet. Froman pulled a cigar from his
1:50.7	pocket theatrically as you might have expected it, lit it, and said, I fully expect we would be
1:57.0	chased around by a German U-boat, but that hasn't happened. We just saw your movie, The Honour of
2:02.4	Raid, Mr. Jolovet. It must be so exciting to be an actress. Do you ever get nervous? You asked.
