Section 8

Seven is all spruced up.

Indeed it is. This is now PL OK.

Section 8

What delightful rhymes.

Notes for section 8:
0:16 you have the year as "715" should be "1715" in
EPOCH THE SECOND.
1715.
THAMES DARRELL.

please delete about 1 second of silence at the end so that it is around 5 seconds.

Thanks,

Section 8, "1715" in place

[7A2c3Ml]

Two relatively short sections, 10 and 11, ready

Section 9.

one repeat in section 9

8:45 repeat of "without" in " without much detriment to their original comeliness"

[7A2c3Ml]

A clipped 9

[7A2c3Ml]

A dramatic 12

Granted, coincidence is the mainspring of a great deal of Victorian fiction, but Ainsworth is straining all credulity. First the absurdity of the matching "disguises" for Wild and Blueskin. Worse, I think, is the fact that the box Jack has made is meant for the sister of Sir Rowland Trenchard. Unless I am mistaken, Wood had heard Rowland's name, and several times over, so that he would never accept an assignment from that quarter!

Two relatively short sections, 10 and 11, ready

By listening to the two together I caught something I hadn't noticed when listening to the chapters separately.

That being said there is another correction needed for section 9:
It should end "this ends chapter 2 Thames Darrell", instead of "this ends chapter 9"

Section 10 is PL OK.

Section 11 has a similar change to section 9:
It should end "this ends chapter 4 Mr. Kneebone and his Friends". instead of "this ends chapter 11"

Thanks,

9 and 11, corrected

Exactly, Rowland was one of those who were chasing Thames' father in the beginning. I also find it hard to believe that Wood is helping Kneebone.

One repeated word to remove and then it should be PL OK.


21:06 repeat of "all" in "All concerned in the dark transaction must have perished."

[mleigh]

Thirteen!

Sections 9,11, and 13 are all PL OK. Well done, most suspenseful.

12 is "all" out
