Thanks

Of course you can. As long as those little roles are not in the same chapter, you can claim as many of them as you like!

Hi I hope you don't mind me pointing out that the parts of Madge and Mark Frettlby are mis-spelt in the MW as Fettlby. Just in case anyone is reading them they will pronounce them incorrectly. Thanks

Thanks for letting me know! I hadn't realised that one! I'll fix that!

May I also read the gaoler? If so, might you explain to me what the word "swell" means in this context?

Thanks for the legal clerk recording - I'll PL that when I'm not on my phone!

Gaoler is now assigned to you.

I believe that "swell" is an insult about Brian, but I could be wrong.

You're quite welcome, Annie! I'm enjoying it. Here's the gaoler:

May I also read the "other male"? If so, I would be grateful for another translation: What does "swells cove's cribs" mean?

Brilliant! I love the accent you affected on this one! Gaoler PL OK

Other male in Chapter 18 has been assigned to you.

I have to admit though, some of the old fashioned Aussie street slang escapes me as to meaning. I think Swell, like with the gaoler is similar to 'Toff' but as to 'cove's cribs' I don't have a clue. Sorry!
