IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Chapter 1 is PL OK, and we're off to a good start. I'm already shaking my head that Mayfield didn't check up on Harold before going away for 3 or 4 days. What if he's been administered a poison by his brother the Rev. Amos? What if he's calling for help, or already dead? What if the Rev. is an imposter? Or plotting with Barbara to bump off the invalid, claim the inheritance, get married, or some such? Ah me.

PL note on Chapter 3

16:48 She took my proffered hand, you say preferred.
Your choice to fix. It just sounded maybe like a clue -- that he had an un-preferred hand.

I'l fix that Michele. Also I just noticed that I inadvertently left off the "t" at the end of the file names. Please let me know if you or Jo require that I fix that as well.

I can take care of fixing these when I catalog the project, Howard.

3 and 4 are PL OK.
Sorry I didn't catch that mis-spelling, as I usually do check the filenames for accuracy. I see you fixed it on 3, so only the first 2 will Jo have to remember to fix.
