I've missed these two characters.

I normally wouldn't note this but you always read so perfectly I thought you might want to take another listen. I'm ok with marking this PL ok if you don't want to change it.

14:57 - When he reached the edge of the Big River, he hurried along the bank until he reached a place where the water seldom freezes.
This sounds as if there is an M at the end of water. It's almost as if you got tongue tied with water and seldom.

Okay I trimmed the muffled bit out and have uploaded the revised file. See if this sounds better for you. Same length of course.

I just wanted to say that I'm delighted that you're still reading books! My kids enjoy your Burgess readings. Thanks!

It was sure nice to get a compliment (blush)

I think the compliment was wonderful and well deserved.

Do you want to leave a note in the summary (or a readers note in the audio) about the text numbering the chapters incorrectly resulting in chapter 15 being skipped? I didn't notice it in the last section but when this one started with chapter 17 I had to go look it up.

Section 6 is pl ok. Finally a good meal for the cleaver little duo.

Section 7 (length 15:21) is up and ready to PL ... time to find a new dinner or two

I hadn't noticed the skipped Chapter 15 either. I think a note in the summary would work best because no content is missing - just incorrect numbering.

Good on your sharp wits

Section 7 is PL OK.

I have mild dyslexia and numbers are something I struggle with. It makes me awfully aware of them. Either that or I'm just bound to get lucky every now and then.

A very interesting Section 8 (length 15:03) is up to PL now.

I've been wondering how Mr. Burgess would handle the inevitable chicken dinner for the foxes, and I have to say I'm impressed. Very responsible and thoughtful.

I agree, that was very impressive.

Section 8 is PL OK.

Just one more section to go after this one - Section 9 (length 9:10) is ready to PL

And we're done! (barring corrections) with Section 10 (length 10:53)

Cheers everyone and it's been fun as always. Will sign up after the Christmas season for - probably - Jerry Muskrat. Love reading Thornton Burgess books.

You've done a wonderful job, Jude. It has been a pleasure to listen for you. I wish you a wonderful Christmas season and look forward to working with you on a future project.

There is one small correction in section 9.
