Thanks, Laura; I've uploaded chapter six. The quotes aren't as funny in the cold light of day as they would be beside the Cheese fire!

Laura; I've uploaded chapter five. The pudding's contents are uncomfortable these days. I had sort of assumed that it would be steak and kidney.

Ambulance 464 (the author was driving an ambulance during world war I in Verdun and the Argonne https://archive.org/details/55311000R.nlm.nih.gov/mode/2up Published 1918 The wikipedia article on the author is interesting:- Author Julien H.

Thanks, Laura; I've edited chapter four and re-uploaded. I think you're right about Sundays ... remember in Wonderful London, there was a chapter about the rag-fairs in Shoreditch, with diamond selling in a couple of pubs, which the author mentioned must have been illegal but ignored by the authorit...

Thanks, Laura; I've uploaded chapter four. There's an interesting little essay from a middle/upper class lady being exposed to The Cheese.
I've corrected a typo at 12.05: "hard cushionless sets" I've recorded as 'seats'.

I'm sorry to have missed doing the intro properly; author added, chapter 3 uploaded.

Thanks; I do find her short stories to be very well-written and easy to read. I'll be doing some more when I've finished my collection of Victorian London books.

Thanks, Laura; I can't hear the popping, though I've corrected what may be the same thing elsewhere in my recording (I think a USB port is playing up, so I'm going to shift to another). An oddity of the pops that I did spot was that they don't seem to show up on the Audacity sonogram. I kept a copy ...

I've uploaded chapter three.

Peter

Thanks, Rapunzelina;

There's a collection of Edith Nesbit short stories that doesn't seem to have been attempted yet: Man and Maid https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/33028

Here's another, Rapunzelina, though I'm probably not going to read the whole work, as it involves at least four different character voices. https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/fcc012_fourmenfarrago_belloc_py_128kb.mp3 (8.31) Title: The Four Men, a Farrago Author: Hilaire Belloc Dates: 1870-1953...

Thanks, Laura,
