Here you go. An odd last line .... it feels much less sensitive than the rest of the poem.

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...

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".

Peter

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!

Peter

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.

Peter

I've edited and re-uploaded. I hope this sounds okay. Intro - from 0.04 "One of them" repeat removed - 3.59 Replaced paragraph - 10.41-13.22 (includes the second repeat that you found). Beginning "Issuing from this room, which embalms the memory of “William,” and ending with "Eac...

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.

Peter

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, Anne; There are only fourteen images. I've extracted them, but I need to label them to fit the chapters that they should go with.

Peter

Thanks, Rapunzelina;
It's a very interesting book, with the author thinking through four different personalities. I wouldn't be able to do it justice.

I suppose it could make a good DR, but you'd need quite sensitive readers.
