   Mise: Wasn't that oul ' MAUD
   M.R: sure it was. I thought it was Maud you said. Damer had a special strong room made to house his gold and had it fitted out with a special spring lock. The gold - it was all in sovereigns (sic) and he used to have it turned with shovels. He used to spend a lot of his time handling and feeling the gold and letting it run through his fingers. This day, beganies, the door slammed on him and he was dead before it could be opened.
