Track Listing:

SIDE A
i. North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street (0:00 - 2:06)
ii. The hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free (2:06 - 5:06)
iii. The former tenant of our house, a priest, had died in the back drawing-room (5:06 - 5:56)
iv. The Abbot, The Devout Communicant, and The Memoirs of Vidocq (5:56 - 6:31)
v. Her name sprung to my lips at moments in strange prayers and praises which I myself did not understand (6:31 - 9:41)
vi. It would be a splendid bazaar, she said she would love to go (9:41 - 11:37)
vii. What innumerable follies laid waste my waking and sleeping thoughts after that evening! (11:37 - 13:03)

SIDE B
i. I sat staring at the clock for some time and, when its ticking began to irritate me, I left the room (0:00 - 1:48)
ii. I remained alone in the bare carriage (1:48 - 2:08)
iii. Nearly all the stalls were closed and the greater part of the hall was in darkness (2:08 - 8:43)
iv. I listened to the fall of coins (8:43 - 9:25)
v. I turned away slowly and walked down the middle of the bazaar (9:25 - 11:52)
vi. Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger (11:52 - 12:21)
