Coachman:
In times gone, Fort Holland was a fort and, now, no longer. The Hollands was the most old family, Miss. They brought the colored folks to the island. The colored folks and Ti-Misery. Betsy Connell:
Ti-Misery? What's that? Coachman:
A man, Miss. An old man who lives in the garden of Fort Holland, with arrows stuck in him and a sorrowful weeping look on his black face. Betsy Connell:
Alive? Coachman:
No, Miss. He's just the same as he was in the beginning. Only on the front side of an enormous boat. Betsy Connell:
You mean a figurehead. Coachman:
If you say, Miss. And the enormous boat brought the long ago fathers And the long ago mothers of us all, chained to the bottom of the boat. Betsy Connell:
They brought you to a beautiful place, didn't they? Coachman:
If you say, Miss. If you say

Times gone, Fort Holland was a fort.
And now, no longer.
00:00:07.638 --> 00:00:10.407
The Hollands
was the most old family, miss.
00:00:10.507 --> 00:00:12.943
They brought the colored folks
to the island...
00:00:13.999 --> 00:00:15.341
the colored folks and Ti-Misery.
00:00:15.446 --> 00:00:17.214
Ti-Misery? What's that?
00:00:17.314 --> 00:00:21.774
A man, miss. An old man who lives
in the garden at Fort Holland.
00:00:21.885 --> 00:00:25.923
With arrows stuck in him and a sorrowful,
weeping look on his black face.
00:00:26.023 --> 00:00:27.224
Alive?
00:00:27.324 --> 00:00:30.627
No, miss, he's just the same as he was
in the beginning...
00:00:30.727 --> 00:00:33.002
on the front side of an enormous boat.
00:00:33.163 --> 00:00:35.933
- You mean a figurehead.
- If you say, miss.
00:00:36.001 --> 00:00:39.136
And the enormous boat
brought the long-ago fathers...
00:00:39.236 --> 00:00:43.764
and the long-ago mothers of us all,
chained to the bottom of the boat.
00:00:45.003 --> 00:00:47.678
They brought you to a beautiful place,
didn't they?
00:00:47.778 --> 00:00:50.144
If you say, miss. If you say.
00:01:03.894 --> 00:01:05.486
Fort Holland.
00:01:05.762 --> 00:01:08.599
From the gate,
it seemed strangely dreamlike.
00:01:08.699 --> 00:01:10.999
The garden had life of its own.
00:01:10.801 --> 00:01:14.049
I was to know all the nooks and crannies
of that great house...
00:01:14.104 --> 00:01:17.875
to love them or hate them,
according to what happened there.
00:01:17.999 --> 00:01:21.178
In that house,
I was to hear a strange confession...
00:01:21.001 --> 00:01:25.449
a confession only madness could have
wrung from the lips of a sane person.
00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:27.651
And yet it was in the same room...
00:01:27.751 --> 00:01:31.999
with the candles lit, that I made
the discovery of my own love...
00:01:31.688 --> 00:01:34.179
knew happiness, deep through the heart.
00:01:35.007 --> 00:01:36.999
My room...
00:01:36.827 --> 00:01:40.798
I still can remember my delight,
unpacking, getting ready for dinner.
00:01:40.898 --> 00:01:44.999
Yet, all the while, I wondered
at the stillness of Fort Holland.
00:01:44.468 --> 00:01:48.336
The fact that I saw no one
on the garden paths or in the rooms.
