Chuck,

On Saturday (May 13) I posted the corrections you requested to Chapters 21 and 22 for Billie Hawker. I also posted the final 6 chapters for Billie as well. So, unless there are some unforeseen errors, my part is complete!

It has been great working with you once again!

Take care,

Greg

Chuck,

I see these and the two prior chapters (38 & 39) that needing correcting have not been proofed yet. Is everything okay?

Thanks!

Greg

Can I have some guidance please?

The MW says "Frequently speaks in tandem with his flatmates, either in a cluster of voices or in unison."
And there are lines like "who is she" with each word in a different colour.
I started recording reading all these words, assuming they were going to be put in chorus by the editor.

However, I then came to: "Oh, you don't, eh? You don't? Oh, no! How about those violets you were moping over this morning? Eh, old man! Oh, no, you don't know what we mean! Oh, no! How about those violets, eh? How about 'em?" Which is set in three colours.
It seems this won't work in chorus.

So please advise, am I supposed only to read the words that have my colour?

Sorry Greg... real life got the best of me. My dog was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. There's a lot going on at the moment, but will PL these as soon as I can.

Yes, as you've surmised, the lines where each word/letter is a different color, everyone's speaking in tandem. If it's an isolated phrase within a block of text, just read the lines that are color-coded. I hope that clarifies things somewhat... sorry for the confusion!
