And very creepily read in my opinion, even if PL OK. I was so congested and nasal, I almost didn't send it in, but I've been congested for 5 weeks and I simply could not wait. Bad Michele. I trust the Irish will examine my motives, compare them to B & H's, and forgive me . . . and I didn't get a farthing for my murderous offering.

Around 3:47, you didn't say "blank" where there were several blanks in the text, :
"til even ____ has gazed", and next two lines ending "with thy ______ thy ______ and thy_______.
I leave it up to you how to handle it, just saying it sounds queer to my ear, like something is missing.
14:40 in Blind Alec verse, you say Black Alek (wouldn't mention it but it is referred to correctly a few other times lower down in the text.

My my, that's a load of poetry! And while not classic, it is actually quite descriptive! I enjoyed it, and glad you chose to read it. Good job.

Here are the correctins per above:

May I please have sections 31 and 32?

Section 30 is PL OK
Thank you for an excellent reading of this important chapter, Ciufi.

The law is such a convoluted thing, it's a wonder any justice at all gets done!
Will all the wrangling lead to Hare's conviction?
We already know the answer. He gets off. But we don't as yet know why. Guess we'll find out soon.

Precognosced?
precognosce (third-person singular simple present precognosces, present participle precognoscing, simple past and past participle precognosced) (law, Scotland, transitive) To examine (e.g. witnesses or evidence) beforehand.
My Daddy made us look up words in the dictionary on a regular basis. It's easier now.

Yes. I've assigned 31 and 32 to you. Thank you. I have reason to believe you will deliver a verdict and possibly set a precedent!
