:28:02
NoW, the slightest
movement of my finger...

:28:04
caused that to happen.
:28:06
I am noW free
of the casket...

:28:09
but I'm still capable
of only slight effort.

:28:11
So...
:28:17
"But," you say, "supposing
no one hears the bell?"

:28:20
The departing mourners
lock both the doors.

:28:36
But is that REALLY foolproof?
:28:38
What if the gate should stick?
:28:52
You see?
:28:54
But, of course,
it's barely possible...

:28:56
that all these methods
might fail.

:28:59
So...
:29:04
But tools break, too,
don't they?

:29:14
A recent invention by
a Swedish chemist named Nobel.

:29:17
It's called dynamite.
:29:18
It's an explosive.
:29:20
But hoW can one be sure
the stuff Will Work?

:29:24
One can't, of course.
:29:28
So...
:29:32
one has a bit of food...
:29:34
Something to drink...
:29:37
every five
or ten minutes or so...

:29:39
rings the bell.
:29:41
Reads a periodical
or perhaps a book.

:29:43
In the event the strain
becomes too great...

:29:45
one can avail oneself With
the soothing effects of music.

:29:50
And then one simply Waits.
:29:52
Rather Well thought out,
don't you think?

:29:56
But no plan is ever perfect.
:29:59
So noW comes
the "piece de resistance"...
