Hi Claire, Great reading as always! Oh, how I have missed Von Arnim's wit and dry sarcasm! A gem at every turn and very well brought forward by your lovely voice!
Section 1
5:48 should be " we would have gone on our silver wedding journey "; I heard " we would not have gone on our silver wedding journey"

This is the humor of Elizabeth Von Arnim. She is making fun of males who think such things.

Hi
