HELP ME HERE. I KNOW WE DID THE TRIPLE DIGIT SET-UP WITH VOL 1 BECAUSE THERE WERE MORE THAN 100 ITEMS. BUT HERE WE ONLY HAVE 83.

Jim, you're right and I'm sorry. Must have had a mental lapse when I wrote this. Or maybe I meant to write this in another project. (I really need to go to bed now....)

Sorry again, forget I mentioned it.

PLEASE, NO APOLOGIES. AFTER ALL, YOU DO SO MUCH. YOU WILL FIND NO COMPLAINTS FROM ME. (AND I CHANGED VOL 3 TO VOL 1--I WAS THINKING GINZBERG, NOT DISRAELI). JIM

perfectly hilarious, especially this final paragraph. I bet you have practiced some time the meaning of this sentence before you recorded it

Nowadays such lisps are quite common in silly comedies, but it was interesting to hear about these early beginnings.

PL ok

yes I enjoy good parodies as well

unless they are malicious, but very often I find them rather funny. Parodies work best of course if one knows the original it is based on.

Great reading again !

I thought I found one footnote which you inserted a bit wrongly:

> at 9:29: footnote to be inserted before “Vulcan arise”

but on further consideration, I think it does not matter too much here. No need to change it. I'll mark it PL ok.

Thanks, Sonia. I agree about the note. I wasn't quite sure what to do. Sometimes, it seems better to move it slightly, but here I think I erred, given that I had not moved it for the earlier one having to do with a series of play titles, broken up by a footnote in the middle (I think Tom Thumb). In future I will just read 'em where they lie because, after all, that is where the author wanted it/them. Thanks again. Jim

Sorry, Sonia, the note for Tom Thumb came after the Vulcan.
