I fear that I will not come to as happy an end this time as did the Reverend Dean....

Thomas -- I have a second cold on top of my baseline one and no voice at all, for this month so far. Do you mind if I aim for the middle of January for Charlotte?

Thanks for letting me know, Eva. Mid-January sounds very reasonable. I don't believe the other parts will come in during the holidays, so there is no rush!

“I fear that I will not come to as happy an end this time as did the Reverend Dean.”

The Very Reverend Jedd Clampett now regrets his decision to load up the truck and move to Beverley.

Cheers,
Chris

Beverley is recorded and done. Not a pretty sight. I must edit some of the more egregious passages out before uploading....

Thanks, Todd

If I did my job correctly, you will not be filled with pity, but instead be enraged into getting your torch and pitchfolk and heading out to find Stukely....

We'll see.

Thanks, Todd

“enraged into getting your torch and pitchfolk”

I know Sonia is from a place with a medieval history, but you make it sound like she keeps her pitchfork in a glass case with the label “In case of vampires, break glass and apply”.

Ha! We've got pitchforks a plenty here in the Bavarian countryside -- I see one right now in the tractor shelter outside my window... so watch out, Stukely!

Beverley Act 2: excellently played out, especially the despair and outrage near the end "Ruined by friendship! I must relieve, or follow him." I thought to myself: can you really be that naive...

no errors found, but there is one line doubled:

> at 1:50: "Jarvis! Why this intrusion?—Your absence had been kinder." - there's two versions of this, did you forget to delete one or can Tomas choose ?

The rest PL ok.

Beverley Act 3: PL ok. Ah I see, you are wisening up, concerning Stukely.

Beverley Act 4: excellently played despair here

This role quite calls for drama and you deliver

one note here:

> at 1:23: "Who, when he spreads foul calumny abroad" - I hear "calumity" which doesn't exist I think
