(Note to our heroic DPL: I am a bit diffident about this submission. Please be candid in your judgement. I'd be willing to do the whole thing over if you think it doesn't measure up.)

The "heroic" DPL is badly behind on his duties, but has an excuse: one more of his babies is getting married.

Happy occasions tend to interrupt LV duties as efficiently as sad ones...
In a few days I should be back in line... Thank you for understanding.

Thank you, Yuqing and Joshua for your kind words and patience! I am gradually returning to my senses...
Sec. 59, @7:15 Madame de Staël is not German, but French; the "s" in front of "t" does not turn to "sh", and the vowel does not sound right.
Her name pronunciation is well rendered in Russian: "Мадам де Сталь," or one could use the Google translate "read aloud" option.

Thank you. Your wisdom is such an asset to this project.
Here then is a revision of Section 59 correcting the pronunciation of "Madame de Staël".
