Thanks Andy, I really enjoyed your reading of the chapter. I laughed a lot at some of the anecdotes, including the landlady and the razor! Nicely read.
I have only a very few PL comments:

~ 0.7 and .22 the word should be reminiscences (it sounds like reminisces, so either you've omitted the 4th syllable or it's so quiet I can't detect it.)

~2.14 this worthy wore large round ... (not long)

~2.22 ... a kind of factotum (not factorum )

Sounds like fun to read - a grand read as you said. And fun to PL also.

Thank you for your kind comments.
I did start out with 'Reminiscences' but then changed it... for some reason.
Chapter XI Edited now and uploaded again.

Thanks Andy. I'll pop it in the MW for PL.

Hi Jane
I will claim chapters XIII-XV, as well, if that's OK. It fills a Sunday morning!

Sure thing. Glad to hear it and love to have more from you.

Thank you. PL OK and nicely read. Congratulations on making it through so much of the dialect. Tricky stuff
