Sharon,
I've PL'ed chap 23 and there's one little mistake you might want to check out:

At 6:43 heard “fasticiously” in “ rather military-looking man, fastidiously attired, wearing a monocle instead of spectacles,..

Not a big difference so if you'd like to keep the sentence as is that's certainly okay. The rest of the recording is very good.

Sharon (and Dave)

I'm having some computer problems that need to be repaired soon. So I'll be off line for a while until they can be fixed. Since this is vacation time for many people it might take me longer to get my pc back in good shape. If you want someone else to PL those last couple of files that's fine with me. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Betty

Hi Sharon and Dave,

Chapter 25 is PL OK!

Mmm the last chapter had a lot of action in it, and the culprit was revealed in an unusual way.

Very well read throughout and a great project!
