Come to the library tonight,
1:05:28
('Will) That's why they had the parade,
so they could find us and kill us,
1:05:33
And so, we had to hide,
because, well,,, who'd believe us?
1:05:39
- ('Mr. Halloway.) I believe you,
- ('Jim.) You do? But we're not grownups,
1:05:43
That's why I believe you,
Now, listen to this,
1:05:46
Diary of my father, Charles Herbert
Halloway, minister of this town:
1:05:52
"October, 1891,
1:05:55
"We have had no good fortune
since there arrived here
1:05:59
"the autumn carnival,
1:06:02
"It seems strange to speak of such
things in these enlightened days,
1:06:06
"A poor, lame servant girl went to the
fortuneteller to inquire how she might run,
1:06:12
"Her leg mended,,,
1:06:15
",,, and then she ran mad,
1:06:20
"It seems they destroy people
1:06:22
"by granting their dearest wishes,
1:06:24
"as has been the way of the devil
1:06:27
"since God created the world,
1:06:31
"Old folks of this town
1:06:33
"say they remember
such a carnival of evil
1:06:36
visiting many autumns past,
in the days of their youth,"
1:06:40
('humming.)
1:06:49
"The traveling people swore
1:06:51
"they would return, some other autumn,
1:06:55
Each time their visit ended
with a most unusual storm,"
