| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, Welcome back everyone to 1001 classic short stories and tales. We have two stories for you |
| 0:35.3 | today the Little Black Dahl and Uncle Richard's New Year dinner and now the |
| 0:40.3 | little black doll. A story from Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery called The Little Black Doll. |
| 0:48.0 | And now our story. |
| 0:51.0 | Everybody in the Marshall household was excited on the evening of the concert at the |
| 0:55.5 | Harbor Light Hotel. Everybody, even to Little Joyce who couldn't go to the concert |
