Creator, York & Son, England. Title slide.
Narrative for slide “‘Twas about the time of Christmas and many years ago,
When the sky was black with wrath and rack, and the earth was white with snow,
When loudly rang the tumult of winds and waves at strife,
In her house by the sea with her child on her knee, sat Harry Conquest’s wife.”
