Thank you proofing Captain Raymond (1 & 2). I've been holding off recording more until I received feedback. Onward to 3!

On page 9 of 18 of Chapter 6 it is read as the following:

NARRATOR:

Baby Elsie was a merry, demonstrative little thing, and it was great fun for them all to watch her and hear her shouts of delight as she came upon one treasure after another;--tiny, gaily dressed dolls of both sexes, and other toys suited to her years.


It did not take her very long to empty the stocking, and then the captain said to the older ones, "Now you may close the door, my dears, and get yourselves dressed and ready for the duties and pleasures of the day. I shall be in presently for our usual chat before breakfast."


They made haste with their dressing and were quite ready for their father when he came in some half hour later. They were very light-hearted and gay and full of gratitude for all they had received.



Should the quote from the captain be a line for him instead of the narrator?

Thanks! Marie
