Thanks Raj, I loved the last line "The sea! The sea!" Very dramatic! :thumbs:

However, there were a few lines missing from the start of the file:
'What is his name?'
'Enter,' (he said) 'enter, Children of the Sun, with your High Ji-jimmy.'
'The ten Kings are even now choosing the bull. It is not lawful for me to behold,'
Since you have to redo parts of the file anyway, this sentence sounded a bit slow and awkward, and I think would benefit from a redo:
'They're a sort of rat; and every year they come swimming over from the country that no man knows, and stay here awhile, and then swim away.
Thanks for all your work! :9:

Chapter 3 is PL OK! :thumbs: The contrast between the children and the Learned Gentleman comes through very nicely, and the mystical voice of the Amulet works well too! Thanks for putting this together so quickly!

I've heard back from Rob, so hopefully we will get some more Psammead lines in soon! Then I think Chapter 4 will be nearly ready too!

I've been building each chapter bit by bit as parts come in, so there wasn't too much left to do on that one. Ch. 4 is mostly assembled already, too. Of course, there are others that I haven't started on yet, but I've been making progress when I can.

Hi Amy! Please do your 1 minute test, then you can start by reading the "Lady" in Chapter 11, or the "British Woman" in Chapter 10 - this part doesn't require a British accent, the woman in question is just named British because the children have time travelled to Ancient Britain.

Thanks Raj! Your "Sailor" voice was perfect! This is PL OK - I think you only have one more part to go in this project! Love your work! :thumbs:
