Thanks, Laura. I've uploaded chapter 40: "A white-glove day" pdf pages 486-489 / text 457-460 A bit of heavy irony here! I did do one drawing, but I'm very unhappy with it. I have a handful of PD victorian street photos which I'll zip into annise's folder later as possibilities for the cov...

I just saw a short video on youtube with the part-title of "California is covered in snow!" Is anyone here experiencing this? [EDIT: despite the video being dated today, the commentary refers to ... I assume ... last weekend.] EDIT: Also, I was wondering if that "commentator" is ...

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

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.

Thanks, Rapunzelina.

And here's the second Sherlock file. Act 3, Scene 1 - starts on #89 Holmes, disguised as Peters, the new butler, speaks on #95-100; Peters appears again on #102, #105; Holmes from #110 https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/speckledband_holmes_3.mp3 (14.52) Rapunzelina, I may have uploaded a file ...

I've uploaded my first Sherlock file: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/speckledband_holmes_2.mp3 (26.14)

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

EDIT: please see my note of the 16th March ... I corrected an error in the file.

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...

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. And he does lapse once or twice, but I think it's probably only noticeable to London...

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

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

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.

Peter

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!
