Yes indeed, it panned out nicely, and that final line - to the effect of: 'you shall sit next to the princess' as a reward for both letting him off criminal charges as well as showing unexpected spirit - was a hoot!
One more to do from the wonderful E F Benson which I'll try to get to you soonest

Excellent! PL ok!
I wasn't quite sure how it would play out, but I was fairly certain he wouldn't get away with it. Delightful! Thanks again!
NB to the PL: on page 107 (around 36:29) of the story, there's a typo: 'iyth instant'. I found another copy of the text in archive.org which shows it as '17th instant' so that's what I read.
Thank you, Michele! I've entered that into the MW. Looking forward to listening. And thank you for doing the needed "legwork" to uncover the meaning of that typo! I'm pretty certain "iyth" is not what was intended!
Indeed, each of these stories so far has been quite funny in its own way, and I've certainly enjoyed hearing these stories by an author I'd previously never heard of!

That was quite a different type of story from the very light hearted ones!
Indeed! An apt title. That one was rather darker than most of these, in more than one way. "The Ape" and "Through" (which you should really hear! Kate did a wonderful job!) were both somewhat dark, but not so much as this one.
I see what you mean about getting the sound to match. Your edits do have quite an echo-y quality to them. Sounds like you were recording in a different environment, probably someplace with lots of hard surfaces, like a kitchen or something? But don't worry about re-recording. Our quality standards aren't as stringent as all that. Everything is complete and understandable, and very well read! Thanks again for such a great job on another fun story!
