:27:00
balked of the enjoyment
of his ill-gotten treasure.

:27:03
And now, in death,
it is not to be believed

:27:07
that such a man would be suffered
to defy the divine law

:27:11
and dishonour the resting places
of our Christian dead!

:27:15
- Amen!
- Amen, Parson.

:27:18
But if it weren't Redbeard,
who killed Cracky Jones last winter?

:27:24
And now...
:27:26
Nat Greening.
Who took him?

:27:28
Silence, Granny Clarke, and you,
Ratsey, that should know better.

:27:32
When l urged...
:27:34
that a search be made for Nathaniel
Greening, two days missing,

:27:37
l was told that a search
was useless,

:27:40
that he was last seen
in the churchyard, after sundown,

:27:43
and so must have met a monstrous
fate at Redbeard's hands.

:27:48
l say to you that
this is blasphemy!

:27:52
And l say to you that if you
persist in these heathen beliefs,

:27:57
you mock God in His own house
:28:00
and this shall not be forgiven you
here or hereafter.

:28:05
Amen!
:28:17
Who is it?
:28:19
lt's l, sir. John Mohune.
:28:25
Olivia Mohune's boy.
:28:30
l was fond of your mother.
Most fond.

:28:36
Seeing you here in church today
was a comfort to me.

:28:40
On a day of great anger!
:28:43
Parson Glennie,
what became of the diamond?

:28:48
The diamond he sold his honour for.
:28:51
That secret lies buried
with Sir John.

:28:54
Perhaps it is better so.
:28:56
But if l found it,
it would be mine, wouldn't it?

:28:59
So young, and your heart already
set on possessions?
