Hmm, this relies on "tput" which I think is not a great tool. Not only
does it not show the escape sequences used, it also has some obvious
problems. For exampl, in my 256 color xterm it reports only 8 colors.
In your screenshots the bold colors are clearly wrong.
Please use raw escape sequences, so that we can see what actually
happens.

CART DRIVER: Bring out your dead!
We follow the cart through a wretched, impoverished plague-ridden village.
A few starved mongrels run about in the mud scavenging. In the open
doorway of one house perhaps we jug glimpse a pair of legs dangling from
the ceiling. In another doorway an OLD WOMAN is beating a cat against a
wall rather like one does with a mat. The cart passes round a dead donkey
or cow in the mud. And a MAN tied to a cart is being hammered to death by
four NUNS with huge mallets.
