I'd forgotten how easy it is to read. I did choose chapters with very little dialogue, though. Handling voices does slow me up enormously.

.. and may I do part 26, Book 2, Chapter 9, please? (Another with little dialogue, but lots of emotion.)

Chapters 3&5 on their way to you via email. If there are problems, please contact me and I'll send by yousendit.

Chapters 3 and 5 now complete. I just need to know about naming the mp3 file: "parts number".

Thanks; I've been doing so much poetry that I forgot.

Think of theatre: the playwright puts down words, situations, even sometimes what his characters are thinking, but each performance comes through the personalities of the acting company, and is coloured by them.

Chapters 3 and 5 for me, please.
Aren't we including our initials in the file name?

In London in England, "Pulteney" would be pronounced Pullt'-nee, with the t semi-silent, and the nee shorter than in knee. Perhaps we should keep an archive of local pronunciations on the site?

I've just downloaded the two new Roads; not listened to them yet. Done: thanks, Sean and Hugh. Sean, how did you get your recording so clean? .. much better than I can manage. Night before Christmas is next ... Kara running it? Kara, I can understand your war saturation; I was looking through Up the...

Does anyone want to choose next week's poem? Otherwise, unless I'm interrupted, it's another difficult one, one of John Donne's.
