[COMPLETE]Jim of the Hills - A Story in Rhyme, by C. J. Dennis - kit

oh-ho a sad turn in the story, didn't see that one coming. I thought he would end up with the widow after all. Quite tragic, even though he was not a nice guy.

Section 10 is already PL ok.

For section 9, there is a small issue:

> at 1:02: "and decent men they were" - you say "are" which ruins the rhyme with "scare" in the next line. I don't know how accurate you want to be with rhyming, so it's up to you if you want to change it

Hmm, technically "were" doesn't actually rhyme with "scare" either anyway. Otherwise it would be "sker". I'm inclined to leave it if I can get the Kitty Paw Imprimatur on the sign-off sheet.

ok it's a half-rhyme but better than "are". But up to you.

You'll get my PL ok.

And here in this poem, Jim's laconic image gets knocked six ways from Sunday.

About time.

"Section 11 - Flames" completed.

Cheers,
Chris

yay, you did it ! Brilliant finale, happy end, how cool

And Jim could prove himself a hero in the fire, even though it might have brought him more into danger than Nell

Both sections PL ok.

So if you need nothing changed in the intro blurb, I can start archiving this little gem. Just let me know. I'm gonna have brekkie before I launch the archiving process.

Thanks for the great reading, it was fun listening to.

Many thanks for all your hard work.

I think the blurb is good to go as is.

I wonder what Anne has in mind for the artwork? This C. J. Dennis one was never made into a film to my knowledge, so there aren’t any movie stills.

Do you realise that we have, in effect, just made it Anne’s job to go searching through photos of big hunky lumberjacks?

Cheers,
Chris
