If it's alright, may I claim three more roles?

28. Nicholas Nickleby
49. Barnaby Rudge
66. Mr. George Chuzzlewit

Thanks! I've mightily enjoyed doing these so far. :)
Thanks and yes you can have these three more.

Thanks, Todd

I like a chap who goes to work with a spring in his step. Here is Dennis the Hangman:

"What ho!" said Motty.
"What ho! What ho!"
"What ho! What ho! What ho!"
After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation.”

PL NOTES:

SECTION 56 - Dennis - The hangman

Adrian, thanks for helping out on this project. Great reading. Just a few corrections listed below. I may be wrong on some of this, the text is very hard to follow. If so please let me know. Thanks.

~2:01-2:05 Skipped Line: Bottom of page 86 "Very good. Stop a minute. My work is sound, Protestant, constitutional, English work. Is it, or is it not?"
~2:58-2:59 Mis-read. "He throws me one..." text "He throws me in one over..."
~3:44-3:48 Skipped Line: Bottom of page 87 "Well then, look here. If these Papists...Muster Gashford?"
~4:28-4:31 Mis-read. "My lord may call me..." text "My lord may well call me..."
~6:44-end I do not think you need to have this end of play cited. I think this may be the stage director or narrator's line. Todd can verify what should happen here.
