What strange discovery does Dr. Marshall Tinsdale make in Zebulon?
Greetings, gentlemen and gentle ladies from Hell. You asked for them, and now we have them. You can access the Gentlemen from Hell transcripts on our lowest $2 tier on Patreon. Season 1 is already up, and Season 2 transcripts will be posted later this week, and uploaded every week after each episode release. Also, please consider giving the show a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. It really helps with visibility and helps us grow as a show and a company. As always, thank you so much for your support. We couldn't do any of this without you.
And I am nothing if not a gentleman.
I had always believed that the past held the key to the future. That wisdom was nothing more than a careful accounting of what had come before. But some ages are entombed for a reason. Some depths of history are best left unexplored, their secrets unmeasured and unnamed. It was because of this that I was forced to reckon with a terrible truth. There's a profound difference between the time behind us and the time beneath us.
Ain't too much farther now. Just over yonder hills and we'll be there. Not that I gather you're tired after driving all this way in that fancy packet of yours. That's a new model, ain't it?
Yes, it's the 1927 3rd Series 8. It replaced the sorely run-down Model T. So, you're entirely certain this area is where the town saw the bright lights that departed the woods and then went straight up into the night sky?
Weren't just no bright light. It was a sight more than that, I can tell you. More like the prettiest light you ever did see. And that weren't the whole of it, neither. There was something terrifying about it, too. Like maybe it was the beginning of something. Or the end. Anyway, once my boy found the cave and what were inside, I wrote to you straight away at that fancy university of yours. It was indeed your son who found the pit cave. Sure was. He was downright determined to see if he could find where that light took off from. Reckon I ought not let him wander so far afield, but that boy's got a hankering for exploring these here woods. Fearless as they come, he is. Why, one time we went out hunting and that little rascal went and treated a wildcat all by himself.
That's no small feats. No, sir, it ain't. Now, just so you know, don't go getting no notions about laying claim to my discovery, neither. I already told half the village what I found out here, and I made certain to look into my claim on these lands. Tight as a drum it is. Still, if what's in that cave turns out to be something of value, you've got my word you'll be paid fair for your trouble. I ain't a man who shucks at debts.
Now, I expect you're not, Mr. Windelmeyer. Just am it'll do, Professor Tinsdale. I assure you, my sole purpose in coming all this way is to investigate your claim. As an antiquarian, I consider it both my duty and my privilege to learn all I can about this region. And if your son truly saw what he claims to have seen, then we may be standing at the threshold of a discovery of considerable importance.
This here's the place. Mind your step now. I ain't keen on spending a whole day fishing your carcass out of that hole. It's a mighty long drop to the bottom of that cavern.
You may rest easy, Emmets. This is hardly my first ascent. Caving is something of a passion of mine. Indeed, it complements rather well the pursuits of a man devoted to uncovering the secrets of the Alden world.
Well, that's all fine and good, but don't go forgetting what I told you. It's a mighty long drop, and I nearly broke my fool neck getting down there myself.
Your concern does you credit, but you needn't trouble yourself. I came prepared for every eventuality.
If you'd be so kind as to step back, I wouldn't want this to slip and hit you by accident.
What do the townsfolk reveal about the cave's history?
I think that should be deep enough. Sure looks pretty steady. It is. Now I need only affix these ropes. There. I think that should do it.
What is that? Some kind of harness you were putting on?
That's exactly what it is. Just one more safeguard against gravity.
