I don't know how to convert your clip - I would just search on google for some conversion software. But I can ask if you would like....?

I am easily pleased Flowers, a glimpse of a 3.03 face or a brooding stare out of a window and I couldn't give a stuff about the music or the technical expertise.

ooh yes please Oyster

Ah, but transcendent beauty is beyond price or value, Theresa.

What is your source file? Is it something you downloaded from YT?

This is not the Flowers's surprise, how about this as a live theatre experience?

It might be fun to do. Do you recognise the piece? And who would you cast in the parts?

''He came over to her with the lounging grace of a panther and leaned against the mantelpiece. Flora saw at once he was not the type to be fobbed off by offers of tea,
What?s that you?re making? ??he asked. Flora knew that he hoped it was a pair of knickers. She composedly shook out the folds of the petticoat and told him it was an afternoon tea cloth.

??Aye,?women?s nonsense??, said Seth softly. ??Women are all alike---ay fussin? over their fal-lals and bedazing a man?s eyes, when all they really want is a man?s blood and his heart out of his body and his soul and his pride..??

??Really?? said Flora, looking in her work-box for her scissors, His deep voice had jarring notes which were curiously blended into an animal harmony like the natural cries of stoat and weasel.??That?s all women want ?a man?s life. Then when they?ve got him bound up in their fal-lals and he can?t move because of the longin? for them as cries in his man?s blood, do you know what they do then?....''

I mean..This is not Flowers's surprise, but how about..etc

Oyster. The laugh afterwards makes my heart pound a bit too despite being a bit silly.

What do they do then Theresa??

God, I'm sad

Seth Starkadder says ''They eat him....If a man lets 'em. Now I --I don't let no woman eat me. I eats them instead''

Why sad, Stripey?

Oh, Theresa. I was in a swoon as soon as I got to lounging grace of a panther. 'Tis one of my favourite books evah. Now who might play Seth?

Timothy Spall?

But who should play Flora? That name is so familiar, somehow. And she'd have to be able for him with the backchat

Whoever is to play Seth, that is.

Well, I can sew a bit and have a work box. If we're doing this by the Method that should count for something, surely. And my performance as Emil in Emil and the Detectives [girls' school] is the stuff of legend.

sad at getting ridiculously girly at someones laugh Theresa (among other things).

Timothy Spall is indeed a Very Fine Actor, but only suitable if he has to hand a Magic Christmas Tree .

Well, I'm still stuck for other ideas, Stripey. Who do we know who can combine panther-like grace with a deep, rich voice?

And remember how Seth eventually becomes a big star, appearing in the deathless movie Small Town Sheik ?

It would be so nice if Mr Armitage were to do it, I am sure it would give him a laugh.

Indeed, but is the memory of Rufus Sewell in the role still too fresh? Mr Armitage would be very fine indeed as Seth.

panther like grace with a rich deep voice, hmmmm, let me think, hmmmmm, nope, can't think of anyone.

I had to disappear to tend to DD, off to bed now, a bit sulky at Missing Stuff but too tired to continue.

I will be back tomorrow to catch up on anything I've missed tho'

Night

I must fare thee well fellow scholars, my bed is calling and it has been a long day.

Theresa hears of what you speak, Stripey.
Understandable

Night MO.

Good night, mesdames.

If it's a stage adaptation it might be okay, Flowers. Different medium and all that
Musical?
On ice?
Maybe not. Night Madame O and Stripey
