Thanks, Laura, I had a few hours between tidying the flat and my friend arriving, so worked on finishing chapter five. I was interrupted before I could upload it yesterday, but I've done it this morning. If there are more than a couple of errors, give up on PLing, and I'll go through the chapter aga...

Thanks, Laura; I've edited and re-uploaded chapter one.

I'm glad you liked it; it was an interesting turn on the expectation of a ghost story.

Back to London's back streets.

I'll be out of action for the next week, as I have guests staying every day.

Welcome back to LV, then!

Laura, I've uploaded chapter one. I was going through my PMs yesterday and found that this collection of Ms Nesbit's stories isn't the probable ghost story collection that I first mentioned to you .. so I'll have to do that one next!

Peter

Thanks, Barry; I'm part way through editing the first story.

Peter

Laura (lvictoria) has already offered to be the DPL for these stories.

Thanks, Laura.

The stories will be posted relatively slowly, as I'm recording them as relief from another very sober non-fiction project.

Thanks, Laura; I've edited and re-uploaded section 4. It's interesting how uncomfortable the word "idiot" is in this text. These days, "idiot" has the connotation of "intentionally stupid" ... I think in Victorian times it was simply a non-emotive label for what some pe...

Sandy, I've PM'd you about the noise reduction.

Thank you, Laura; I've uploaded section four.

Peter

I found it, in the 1980 volume of Literature....

Author Maxine Kumin, born 1925

I'll PM it to Rapunzelina.

Lukessa, you posted in the Need Help forum about the aircraft noise, and I had a go at cleaning it. Have you listened to the file I uploaded? I do think it cleaned up quite well, and you could apply the same method yourself.

Peter

That's extremely strange; I wouldn't know how to get that effect without doing some research! Edited and re-uploaded .... again.
