Next evening was a lovely evening, and I walked out early to enjoy it. The sun was not quite down when I traversed the field-path near the top of the deep cutting..
Above there is the sound recording and the text of a snippet of The Signalman by Charles Dickens. Try to make a phonetic transcription of the passage as pronounced by the speaker, Tony Fao. Then you can compare your version with mine by clicking on the show link below. My version has stress markings.
With thanks to Tony Fao and Librivox and to Petr Rösel and Emilio Márquez for corrections.
