At last, the Proof Listener earns her keep! At 6:27.5 the following words from p. 191 are missing:

"and there was consecrated king by the papal legate".

Our author is generous in his tributes to the dead.

Best,

Barbara

Section 23 is PL OK. I am looking forward to hearing Henry V get his comeuppance. I won't spoil it for myself by googling and discovering that he doesn't.

Hi Barbara,

I should have given you a heads up on that, as it was intentional.
I am very conflicted about this word, Rheims. The French, including the people who live there pronounce it like rance to rhyme with dance, if you're an American. Being a purist, I have been pronouncing it this way. But it is clearly unintelligible to a listener who isn't French. So I made the Rance-Reems transition in that passage for the listeners of this book.
What do you advise at this point?

I think your decision was the right one. I didn't notice that the "Reems" was in parenthesis. I'll mark it PL OK.

Stay safe,

Hi Ann,

I re-uploaded Section 24 because I forgot the "kb" at the end:
