Some time prior to the period at which this little history begins...

Track length3:12
$1.00
$1.30

There are many singular coincidences I have known...

Track length3:03
$1.00
$1.30

‘With submission, sir,’ said Turkey...

Track length2:51
$1.00
$1.30

Among the manifestations of his diseased ambition...

Track length2:40
$1.00

A few days after this, Bartleby concluded...

Track length2:45
$1.00
$1.30

It is not seldom the case that when a man is browbeaten...

Track length3:39
$1.00

Nothing so aggravates an earnest person as a passive resistance…

Track length3:37

As days passed on, I became considerably reconciled...

Track length3:09
$1.00

Track length3:22
$1.00
$1.30

For the first time in my life a feeling of overpowering...

Track length3:16
$1.00
$1.30

Revolving all these things, and coupling them...

Track length3:46
$1.00
$1.30

It was rather weak in me I confess...

Track length3:40

As he opened the folding-door to retire...

Track length3:20
$1.00
$1.30

At length, necessities connected with my business...

Track length5:12
$1.00
$1.30

As I had intended, I was rather earlier than usual...

Track length3:14
$1.00
$1.30

‘Will you, or will you not, quit me?’

Track length3:14
$1.00

I endeavored also immediately to occupy myself...

Track length4:43
$1.00
$1.30

‘Ere revolving any complicated project, however...

‘Now one of two things must take place.’

Track length2:38
$1.00
$1.30

I answered nothing...

Track length3:18
$1.00
$1.30

Being under no disgraceful charge...

Track length3:02
$1.00
$1.30

‘How’s this?’ said the grub-man...

Track length3:01
$1.00
$1.30

There would seem little need for proceeding further in this history...

The Lightning-Rod Man

Work length18:25

What grand irregular thunder, thought I...

Track length2:53
$1.00
$1.30

‘Sir,’ said I, bowing politely...

Track length3:02
$1.00
$1.30

‘I am a dealer in lightning-rods’, said the stranger...

Track length3:09

The Bell-Tower

At length the holiday of the tower came...

Track length3:54

His felony remitted by the judge...

Track length3:48
$1.00
$1.30

But, being questioned...

Track length4:11
$1.00
$1.30

Track length4:16
$1.00
$1.30

‘Hark! Is that – a footfall above?’

Track length3:19
$1.00
$1.30

Slowly, the day drew on...

Track length5:04
$1.00
$1.30

From the mystery unavoidably investing it...

Track length3:15
$1.00
$1.30

He still bent his efforts...

Track length4:22
$1.00
$1.30

It was thought that on the day preceding the fatality...
