I'd like to claim Chapter 20, please; I had to can it to make sure it wasn't the Rainbow Bridge our pets cross over - I didn't want to read anything sad.

Thanks!

Hello!

This chapter had quite a challenging tongue twister! "Shabby as a shoemaker's child's shoes!"

sometimes innocuous phrases seem like tongue twisters

Hello! Excellent reading as always. Just two edits please:

Around 48:14 - repeat of "still" in "still it has not the cumulative effect of grandeur" (optional - it sounds natural enough saying it twice, but pointed out just in case you'd like to remove it)
Around 36:05 - omitted "Returning is even worse than going—" before "I believe only eight people have ever mounted the bridge."
