Yes, I like this book very much! Although it is usually ignored as a minor work and Maugham himself didn't seem to like it.
Thanks Pam! I will post on this thread when I have a chapter done. I was worried to seem to be nagging...
No worry about nagging between reader and DPL. I am a great fan of Somerset Maugham and I didn't know about this work.
Excellent reading--you got the satiric tone just right!
A few small corrections that affect meaning:
Chapter 5 at 22:56, I am hearing "hat" instead of "head"
Chapter 6 at 02:35, I am hearing "mime" instead of "maim" (should sound like "mame" rhyming with "tame")
at 23:26, I am hearing "shame" instead of "sham" (should rhyme with "Sam")
All this is routine, PL stuff. If you look at the threads for my solos, "Queen Elizabeth" and "Cardinal Wolsey" you will see me fixing the same sort of little things my DPLs pick up. Just upload the files for a Spot PL when you are ready.
Your volumes are perfect now.
My best,
Pam
P.S.
I am really losing sympathy for Mary! She is so condescending.

Yes, that is the way to do it. Usually, I delete the link I am replacing and hit return to make sure the space is a blank. And then I re-upload the file and paste it in.
