Oh! I was going to say that you could laugh it up at my French attempt.

Chapter 4 is up.

Not quite as long as I'd thought it would be, as there was a good 8-10 minute stretch I had re-read after it occurred to me that I should look up how the Earl Cadogan name was pronounced. . . and of course, it was different than I'd been doing.

Chapter 4 is pl okay!

Very engaging chapter, and a lovely reading.

Thanks, Ciufi

Are you ready for this? I just had to run outside and ground Scott from mowing the lawn.

Nicely done! Chapter 5 is pl ok.

At long last, there's chapter 6

That was super interesting - and pl okay!

If you could note the page number of the chapter when you post that it's ready for pl, it would be helpful, btw.

Oh! I'll link a chapter bookmark in the section note box when I put files in! So sorry I didn't think of that to start with, being a Hathi source

Update for Jo and Ciufi,

Was looking forward to getting into the real swing of recording on this after the DR-finishing plate was cleared and the holiday/work trip, but I'm super gunked up right from head cold/cough. As soon as that clears out enough, I'll be working this regularly

Hope you feel better!

Woohoo!! I sort of have my voice back, so here's an appearance of Gertrude Bell!

Very annoying working around multiple coughing fits, but I think it came together nicely enough.

Glad that you have your voice back! Chapter 7 is pl okay! Quite absorbing, I thought.

Here is Chapter 8, finally!

I don't think there will be any more ridiculously long delays between chapters. Voice is back for the most part, house is fixed and sale process squared away, out-of-town visitors all tucked back in their homes. . .

I find Gertrude completely enchanting.
