Thank you, and I hope you're enjoying the book so far! I'm marking this as 'Ready for PL', and you'll hear back one way or another within a few days.

Thanks for being the volunteer for my first PL.

Ready for another one so soon? If so, we'll have you right-click that 'Listen' link for chapter 20 in the Magic Window, and have another go!
Same deal as last time, questions welcome if you have them.

I should've mentioned this earlier but I'll also take Chapter 18.

Very well done! Just one small note: at 21:42 there is a repeat of "the example of successful resistance...native tribes of South Africa".

[redrun]

Thank you Grace, I've updated the Magic Window.

Nice, spot is perfect now. Chapter 20 is PL OK!

[redrun]

Thank you both! Magic Window is updated.

[gracesilvey]

I'll take Chapter 5, please!

Here you are!

Ha! Well, you seem to have been prepared!

Chapter 5 is PL OK!
(I did re-name the file to '05' instead of just '5', so that it will sort correctly with the other files. Checking file names is technically part of the BC's job, but most folks check the file name when PLing. Often, it's easiest to have the reader re-upload using the correct name, along with any other changes that might be needed.)

I found it interesting that the men weren't allowed to marry until their whole regiment was - and they kept the "bachelor" regiments separate from the others! It seems so bizarre, and yet so... I don't know if "obvious" is the right word. Of course there's a culture that organized things this way. Fascinating.

[gracesilvey]

Oh, oops! Thanks for making that correction for me - I’ll remember that for next time.

I know, I had never heard of that before and thought that was pretty strange.
