urgh, that lady is such a sourly person :lol: truly, now that I heard Adrian's Ridgeley performance, I can see how those two would get along well :mrgreen: excellently acted, Val, thanks.

One missed line though, right at the end...

> at about 1:43: (p. 404) missed line "Coming with us !"

Ha! Lady R really is insufferable, isn’t she?! And yes, Adrian Ridgeley and I would definitely see eye to eye. :lol: However, I fear Jenn’s Nina will get her revenge! :D

I’ve inserted the lady's missing line at the end.

Here are Lady Ridgeley's final blustering words! I was looking forward to Nina putting her in her place but I'll have to be content with her being sanctified instead. Sigh... At least Beeswaxcandle-Hilary will get the satisfaction of setting the record straight. :clap:

By the way Sonia, when you proof listen (let’s hope I’ve got it right this time) at 3:58, I added Lady Ridgeley’s “sigh or sniff” that was referenced in the notes near the bottom of page number 444. Let me know if you agree that I should have done that!

I hope this leaves our house in order! :D

well she is hardly sanctified. Poor Nina has given up it seems, but luckily Hilary is saving the day and goes against the blatant injustice.

And Lady Ridgeley is PL ok. Your "hmpf" is quite apt, I guess Todd will use it, thanks

:shock: thanks for the reminder ! I just went back and noticed that his claim was overlooked, I'll post it here again for reference. viewtopic.php?p=2319141#p2319141 Todd: I updated the MW.

Here is Harding, who, in my mind's eye, is a bit of a stiff prig:

:lol: in that household "stiff priggishness" is probably inevitable. You characterized him very well :thumbs:

Only two small parts missing, the rest was fine. Thanks

Act 1:
> at about 5:18: (p. 287) missed line: "Forshaw."

Act 2:
> at about 0:09: (p. 316) missed line: "Good night Derek."

thank you, Alan, an accurate depiction of a newspaper columnist. :thumbs: Just two sentences missing at the end:

> at about 5:45: (p. 286) please add:
- "Beautiful place you have here, Mr. Jesson – beautiful."
- "I leave that to you, Mr. Jesson."
