Thanks, beeswaxcandle; I did get that recorded for Sherlock, but forgot to mention it in my post.

Re: ~ OPEN [PLAY] The Speckled Band, by Doyle - rap

Michelle, I found a repeat in my Sherlock file for Act 2. I've deleted it and re-uploaded. It was "It all comes back to me" at about 11.28. It's now 26min 12 secs.

He first appears in Act 2, Scene 2, on page #62 (text page 55)

Re: Cockney Accent Tutorial

I'm no linguist ... or should it be philologist? ... and haven't really registered the different voice sounds when I've been to other parts of the country. Lazy. But when I was interested in trying to get local sounds right, I did buy a book-and-CD called "How to do accents", by Edda Sharp...

Re: Cockney Accent Tutorial

The video would be helpful for anyone who's not had the chance to be surrounded by the accent. It's over-emphasised, not relaxed enough ... but that's probably necessary if you're going to learn the accent from him.

I'd like to read Sherlock himself, if I may.

Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans

I'm doing a couple of drawings, just to give our covermaker some choice (including the choice not to use either of them, of course!).

I've uploaded chapter 39 - "The end of "Jack Ketch's warren" - pdf 478-485 / text 449-456

Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans

Thanks, Laura .... you're hoping for great-grandchildren to read to you as you fade away?

Here's chapter 38. Starting work on a drawing this evening.

Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans

And here is Chapter 37. "Our poor old horses" pdf pages 463-470 / text 434-441 Hoping for better Spring fragrances than you're dreading. Buds are just showing on the trees, though the crocuses and daffodils are prematurely flowering. I'd better get working on that drawing I said I'd do. Pe...

Thanks, Michele; I enjoyed reading it ... but not enough sewage and underground railway details for my taste!

Re: [OPEN] Multilingual First Chapter Collection 012 - rap

Thanks, Rapunzelina; yes, I wonder how many people will be attracted by the flavour of the title! How precise is the phrase "First chapter"? I soloed a book a little while ago which was a semi-fictional account of life in a Sussex village. Each month had three short pieces, and there was a...
