Re: Play Suggestions
I'd like to suggest "The Watched Pot", a three act play by Saki. The only problem is the date of the copy on archive.org, but it looks okay to me. Wikipedia link for play: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Watched_Pot Text of play is in ... The Novels and Plays of Saki, Vol. 1 Source: http...

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
Thanks for catching that, Laura. Chapter six has been edited and re-uploaded.
I think my favourite was the manageress's "Only two gentlemen making a few masonic signs under the table".

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
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!

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
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.

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
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...

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
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'.

Re: More Edith Nesbit
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.

Re: [SOLO] Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - Reid-ans
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 ...
