Thanks for the updates, Michael. For future reference, we prefer to use the top level link for PG books. :)

Section 5 - I have one comment.

~2:37, I hear "jolly" instead of "dolly" in "For beside the dolly sailor", they both make sense here but it's a different meaning. Could you again check and see if it is jolly, or I need to have my hearing checked. :)

Thanks,

M

I hope to get the rest finished later today but am off to the grocery now.

Section 6 is PL OK.

Section 7 has two comments.

1. around 4:52, text reads "Behold the gorgeous East was there!", you have "glorious" which has somewhat different connotations, but does fit in. I'll leave it to you as to whether you feel it needs to be changed because of that.

2. around 8:20, the "by Robert Louis Stevenson" was left off of "End of A Child's Garden of Verses, by Robert Louis Stevenson."

Thanks,

M

Many thanks. All done, and sections 5 and 7 re-uploaded for spot PL. Funny how "jolly sailor" trips off the tongue much more easily than "dolly sailor" :D

It also didn't help that "jolly" appeared a few lines earlier.

All is good now. Couldn't even tell that the words were inserted later. The whole thing is PL OK. :clap:

Thanks for the opportunity to work on this quick but fun project.
