ah more news from Betty, how lovely. I knew she would be chopping wood before long

And now it looks she is going to make new friends. Looking forward to better times.

Thank you, Marie, this chapter is again PL ok. Glad to see you back in the saddle. Hope you have a nice celebration tonight and wishing you a good new year.

Mr. Peabody gets worse!!!

this person is beyond redemption

I could imagine he would fall ill or have an accident and people help him then, and maybe he will change his character. It's a "cosy" book I guess, because I think in real life such people won't change even after that.

Again: PL ok

aww poor Bob, I hope he will get better again. While I have less sympathy for Mrs Peabody, she is a bit too lethargic for my taste and doesn't stand up to her husband.

I have a small correction to suggest this time:

> at 3:42: "Mrs. Peabody, she knew, would not object to the rug being used" – you say "Mrs Peabody knew, she..." – this is a change in meaning, as "she" is Betty here, who knew that although Mrs Peabody wouldn't mind, Mr Peabody however would. This could be emphasized to make the sentence clearer

The rest perfect as always, thanks

Sonia

well, two men at least stood up against him. What a cheater for money

When will Betty's uncle get wind of all this ?

Another perfectly PL ok chapter, thanks, Marie

I don't know, but I am ready for Uncle Dick to come to the rescue! And I hope he takes Bob with them
