Hi,
I'll MC this for you. I'll leave you here for a bit to see if a proof listener comes along.
Cheers,

Great job with the first story. Just a few easy fixes.

Please add a small amount of time to the start so that there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence.

11:36 some deletion needed here as there is a repeat - 11:36 "above all, the shockingly choleric" and at 11:39 "and above all, the shockingly choleric look in his eyes", this follows " his craggy jaw, and"

32:10 please delete "And finally, from every point of the compass a seething mob of interested onlookers begins to appear." This follows "done a lot of running" and is out of place here. You do have it at the correct location.

Looking forward to hearing the rest of the stories. It has been many years since I read this book and don't remember much of it.

You added a bit too much silence to the start but I went ahead and fixed that for you as the other changes were spot on. This is now PL OK.
