Chapter 1

Track length5:53
$1.00
$1.30

Both Hilda and Constance had had their tentative love-affairs…

Track length7:05
$2.00
$2.60

However, came the war, Hilda and Connie were rushed home…

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

In 1916 Herbert Chatterley was killed…

Track length3:59
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 2

Track length6:05
$1.00
$1.30

Clifford left them alone, and she learnt to do the same…

Track length6:53
$1.00
$1.30

It was in her second winter at Wragby…

Track length5:23
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 3

Track length6:12
$1.00
$1.30

There was something about him that Connie liked.

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

Breakfast was served in the bedrooms…

Track length5:22
$1.00
$1.30

When he rose, he kissed both her hands…

Track length5:02
$1.00
$1.30

Connie was in love with him…

Track length5:59
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 4

Track length4:42
$1.00
$1.30

Hammond looked rather piqued.

Track length6:03
$1.00
$1.30

Silence fell.

Track length6:48
$1.00
$1.30

Clifford made big eyes: it was all stuff to him.

Track length7:00
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 5

Track length7:13
$2.00
$2.60

Connie was not keen on chains, but she said nothing.

Track length6:05
$1.00
$1.30

She was watching a brown spaniel that had run out…

Track length7:08
$2.00
$2.60

'Who is your game-keeper?' Connie asked at lunch.

Track length6:13
$1.00
$1.30

Michaelis had seized upon Clifford as the central figure…

Track length6:01
$1.00
$1.30

He spoke it almost in a brilliancy of triumph…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 6

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

On one of her bad days she went out alone…

Track length5:19
$1.00
$1.30

It was nearly a mile to the cottage…

Track length6:08
$1.00
$1.30

So she plodded home to Clifford…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

It had rained as usual, and the paths were too sodden…

Track length4:39
$1.00
$1.30

Connie had received the shock of vision in her womb…

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 7

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

So she hardly ever went away from Wragby…

Track length5:55
$1.00
$1.30

Tommy Dukes was at Wragby…

Track length6:01
$1.00
$1.30

Down posted Hilda from Scotland…

Track length6:21
$1.00
$1.30

Michaelis heard they were in town, and came running…

Track length4:13
$1.00
$1.30

Hilda posted off to Dr. Shardlow…

Track length4:56
$1.00
$1.30

For the first week or so…

Track length5:48
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 8

Track length6:20
$1.00
$1.30

The next afternoon she went to the wood again.

Track length6:06
$1.00
$1.30

So Connie watched him fixedly.

Track length4:38
$1.00
$1.30

She found Mrs. Bolton under the great beech-tree on the knoll…

Track length6:59
$1.00
$1.30

The weather came rainy again.

Track length7:41
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 9

Track length7:22
$2.00
$2.60

But no sooner had she gone, than he rang for Mrs. Bolton…

Track length6:14
$1.00
$1.30

Nevertheless, one got a new vision of Tevershall village…

Track length7:40
$2.00
$2.60

Under Mrs. Bolton's influence…

Track length3:51
$1.00
$1.30

It was Mrs. Bolton's talk…

Track length7:45
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 10

Track length6:31
$1.00
$1.30

She fled as much as possible to the wood.

Track length5:47
$1.00
$1.30

One evening, guests or no guests, she escaped…

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

She lay quite still, in a sort of sleep…

Track length6:50
$1.00
$1.30

He stood back and watched her going into the dark…

Track length6:27
$1.00
$1.30

Constance, for her part, had hurried across the park…

Track length5:49
$1.00
$1.30

The drizzle of rain was like a veil over the world…

Track length7:08
$2.00
$2.60

He shut the door, and lit a tiny light…

Track length8:23
$2.00
$2.60

The next day she did not go to the wood.

Track length5:03
$1.00
$1.30

The baby was a perky little thing of about a year…

Track length5:21
$1.00
$1.30

She started out of her muse, and gave a little cry…

Track length8:13
$2.00
$2.60

Connie went slowly home…

Track length6:34
$1.00
$1.30

Connie would not take her bath this evening.

Track length5:35
$1.00
$1.30

She had drifted to the door.

Track length4:37
$1.00
$1.30

Connie was in bed, and fast asleep all this time.

Track length7:31
$2.00
$2.60

He went to the hut, and wrapped himself in the blanket…

Track length7:15
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 11

Track length6:44
$1.00
$1.30

Then one afternoon came Leslie Winter…

Track length6:26
$1.00
$1.30

It was already May…

Track length6:47
$1.00
$1.30

As she rose on to the high country…

Track length6:38
$1.00
$1.30

England, my England!

Track length5:41
$1.00
$1.30

Squire Winter, a soldier, had stood it out.

Track length6:26
$1.00
$1.30

Connie was glad to be home…

Track length4:45
$1.00
$1.30

It was a sunny day, and Connie was working in the garden…

Track length7:41
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 12

Track length6:55
$1.00
$1.30

'Are you sad today?' she asked him.

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

There was a long pause of silence, a cold silence.

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

And she went with him to the hut.

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

He took his hand away from her breast…

Track length6:25
$1.00
$1.30

And now in her heart the queer wonder of him was awakened.

Track length5:38
$1.00
$1.30

He rose, and turned up the lantern…

Track length4:03
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 13

Track length6:54
$1.00
$1.30

Connie listened, and flushed very red.

Track length5:51
$1.00
$1.30

In front of them ran the open cleft of the riding.

Track length4:53
$1.00
$1.30

She found Clifford slowly mounting to the spring.

Track length4:48
$1.00
$1.30

The keeper appeared directly.

Track length6:02
$1.00
$1.30

The chair began slowly to run backwards.

Track length4:01
$1.00
$1.30

'I'm going to push too!' she said.

Track length4:18
$1.00
$1.30

At lunch she could not contain her feeling.

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 14

Track length6:21
$1.00
$1.30

He twisted round again and looked at the enlarged photograph…

Track length7:18
$2.00
$2.60

'Then came Bertha Coutts.'

Track length5:33
$1.00
$1.30

There was a silence.

Track length7:28
$2.00
$2.60

He held her close, in the running warmth of the fire.

Track length8:10
$2.00
$2.60

Then he woke up and looked at the light.

Track length6:27
$1.00
$1.30

And afterwards, when they had been quite still…

Track length5:35
$1.00
$1.30

After a while, he reached for his shirt and put it on…

Track length3:03
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 15

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

Another day she asked him about himself.

Track length6:40
$1.00
$1.30

Connie laughed, but not very happily.

Track length6:17
$1.00
$1.30

There fell a complete silence.

Track length6:12
$1.00
$1.30

When she came with her flowers…

Track length5:45
$1.00
$1.30

'You don't mind, do you, that I'm going away?' she asked…

Track length5:11
$1.00
$1.30

The curious gulf of silence between them!

Track length5:26
$1.00
$1.30

He had brought columbines and campions…

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 16

Track length4:21
$1.00
$1.30

They went onto the house. Connie marched in…

Track length5:44
$1.00
$1.30

She listened with a glisten of amusement.

Track length4:57
$1.00
$1.30

And the day came round for Hilda to arrive.

Track length6:43
$1.00
$1.30

It was true, Hilda did not like Clifford…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

They were soon at Mansfield…

Track length5:31
$1.00
$1.30

He unlocked the door and preceded them…

Track length5:00
$1.00
$1.30

The three ate in silence.

Track length6:17
$1.00
$1.30

It was a night of sensual passion…

Track length5:18
$1.00
$1.30

Till his rousing waked her completely.

Track length4:03
$1.00
$1.30

Silent, he put his plate on the tray and went downstairs.

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 17

Track length6:18
$1.00
$1.30

Connie found herself shrinking and afraid of the world.

Track length6:35
$1.00
$1.30

The Villa Esmerelda was quite a long way out…

Track length5:27
$1.00
$1.30

It was pleasant in a way. It was almost enjoyment.

Track length6:54
$1.00
$1.30

She had been at Venice a fortnight…

Track length3:21
$1.00
$1.30

She had a letter from Mrs. Bolton.

Track length5:22
$1.00
$1.30

She could not help confiding a little in Duncan Forbes.

Track length3:30
$1.00
$1.30

A few days later came a letter from Clifford.

Track length5:39
$1.00
$1.30

However, everybody listens…

Track length4:47
$1.00
$1.30

The irritation, and the lack of any sympathy…

Track length4:55
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 18

Track length6:10
$1.00
$1.30

She found a letter from Mellors.

Track length4:41
$1.00
$1.30

In spite of himself, little flames ran over his belly…

Track length5:47
$1.00
$1.30

'Then why are you afraid of me?' she said.

Track length5:06
$1.00
$1.30

She was quite determined now that there should be no parting…

Track length5:24
$1.00
$1.30

Connie confided in her father.

Track length4:11
$1.00
$1.30

Poor Sir Malcolm! He was by no means keen on it.

Track length4:45
$1.00
$1.30

The following day he had lunch with Connie and Hilda…

Track length4:27
$1.00
$1.30

Duncan, when approached, also insisted…

Track length5:01
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 19

Track length6:01
$1.00
$1.30

So Mrs. Bolton began to weep first.

Track length6:37
$1.00
$1.30

His behaviour with regard to Connie was curious.

Track length4:26
$1.00
$1.30

Clifford and Connie sat in silence when she had gone.

Track length5:54
$1.00
$1.30

He was speechless, and the queer blank look of a child…

Track length5:08
$1.00
$1.30

The Grange Farm, Old Heanor, 29 September

Track length6:24
