:29:02
Yeah. I'm lucky.
:29:04
Oh, I was forgetting.
My name is Philip Martin.
:29:07
Oh, I'm Barry K - Mason.
:29:10
I'm glad you found yourself near here,
Mr Mason, when the storm came.
:29:14
It's a pleasant thing to have a guest
sharing the fire when it's raining.
:29:18
- You live here alone, sir?
- Yes.
:29:20
Except I don't think of it in that way.
:29:23
You see, sounds are my lights
and my colours.
:29:27
My music, for example.
I compose a little.
:29:31
And there is nobody to tell me that
the results are anything but brilliant,
:29:35
so I live in a comfortable glow
of self-appreciation.
:29:39
I prefer playing the
works of other composers.
:29:43
Undoubtedly,
you'd prefer listening to them.
:29:46
I used to play the triangle
in our high school band.
:29:50
Oh, that's too bad.
:29:51
It's unfortunate when you get
out of practice on the triangle.
:29:56
The piano is a boon to me.
:29:58
The piano can't know that you're blind,
:30:01
so it doesn't embarrass you by trying
to make things easier for you.
:30:05
lt does you
the compliment to trust you.
:30:08
Delius, the British composer,
was blind too.
:30:12
That's our only resemblance.
:30:14
This is his
"Summer Night on the River."
:30:17
(Crunch)
:30:21
A very interesting effect:
obligato on an apple.
:30:25
Oh, l apologise, Mr Mason.
:30:26
I forgot how hungry you
must be after your long walk.
:30:29
Just a moment. I'll get something.
:30:31
Oh, no. Thanks.
This is fine. I - I like apples.
:30:35
So do I. We'll save them for dessert.
:30:47
It was all ready, you see.
:30:49
All I needed was a reminder
that I was hungry too.
:30:53
- Are you dry enough?
- Just about, sir.
:30:56
It stopped raining.
