Probably half of the 'jabs' are going right over my head, but nonetheless delightful to read!

Thank you,
Brize
The section title is "Part 1, Chapter 2" which you said at the beginning of the intro but at the end I only heard "Chapter 2" just for uniformity. No problem with the text itself
Thanks, Tatiana. Yes I was getting discombobulated on these chapters - no word titles, then the sections started with zero (like a computer) rather than one. For me, you PL's are indispensable - catch the little (and big) flubs that inevitably sneak in. Should be OK now.

It is the BC's job to assign and reopen sections. Victoria will do it when she has a chance.

Thanks! I did not know if that was something I was supposed to be doing.

C'est magnifique! It is tricky when these sections don't have real chapter names.

Time Out! My last submission is correct pew, wrong church! I.e., chapter 7 of part two, rather than part three, which is my assignment. (Not too swift, huh?) So don't bother PLing it (might be a record for misreads!) and I'll get right on the correct section 23.

Thanks,
Brize

OK, attached is the CORRECT section 23, Part 3, chapter 7, in 9:43:

https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/gulliverstravels_23_swift_128kb.mp3

Minor note, but it seems to me there MAY be a typo at 1:21 to 1:23 or so. BUT it may be my unfamiliarity with 18th century idioms of speech, so I recorded it as written. Please advise if anybody is more certain than myself of how it should be.

Thank you,
Brize
