Brain seems to be working backwards lately.

Also, I'd like to claim Chapter 4.

*Smile* Wellll, with a Noise Level of less than 25 dBs, your brain is more than compensating for a few small touches of miswording.
All is now PL Ok+ !

Now, I LIKE Pratt's work and plan to read more of him for personal pleasure, but I DO find that his syntax is a little tricky; I think that's due to more than just common phrasing of his time ... there's simply something odd about it, and perhaps he so intended, given the fantasy genre.

As a matter of a fact, I'm STILL trying to determine WHAT he meant in Chapter 13 by Lalette "watching a tall unpainted barn without a window that walked slowly past along the shore" ... and THAT while the scene is actually of her in a ship ON the sea.

*shrug* I've Not a Clue, nor a valid guess!

I'm well pleased, Mark, that you're interested in completing more chapters; I'll be happy to PL upon go ahead and completion.

Best,

Well then, I guess I'll do Chapter 5.

Great! But justttt so there's no confusion, let me be sure to note that I'm only the DPL.
I don't see anyone clamoring for the chapters, don't think that Divya will be cross for completion without "official sanction" and I'll be *Pleased* to check out all of your work, but don't want us to get into any sticky situations.

*GRIN*

Having said that ... I *DO* hope that you'll consent to completing the short Epilogue as well; I was going to, have even marked it with reader's notes, but on brief reflection, think that because I completed the last chapter that it'll be better if there's another voice for that very last section. Yours, Mark, would be perfect!
No pressure, of course, but a sincere encouragement.

And if you will, then perhaps I will take on another chapter as well, so as to not work you half to death!
(No Command By Her Majesty's Grace!

@Angelique - Apologies for overlooking Section 28 earlier.
Chapter 28: Missing line at 13:19 - talking about?” “I am glad you saved her life,” said she, still not looking at him. “It is a pity
everything else sounds great! *Smile*

(Methink that Lalette is lying a little here about being glad Maritzel has been saved! *Laugh*
Maybe that's why I omitted the sentence.
HaHa! Nooo ... it was good ol' oversight!)

Thank you for catching it, Divya!

A Brilliant Lady, Indeed!

Yayyyy, Mark!
Chapter 5 is PL Okay!

And, I must say, I was truly delighted by your Mme. Kaja's titter as she so kindly informs Rodvard that it is in his best interest to not call women by the wrong name. *LAUGH*

Yes. Yes, I did back up the recording so I could hear it again!

Thank you, kind sir, for so generously sharing your talent!
