It would appear I made an error in the length of Sections 20 and 21; they should have been 3400 words, not 4300. However, the Chapter clearly needed to be split, and at 24-26 minutes, the two Sections are both of a reasonable length.

Incidentally, over Christmas and New Year, I finished the dictation to the end of the book, so hopefully Sections will now come a little quicker. (I had originally hoped to finish the book by January 1, but the best-laid plans of mice and men etc.)

Incidentally, I do love the expression "an offering to Cloacina", the most elegant euphemism I have heard in some time!

Evidently, in the 1770's, Indonesia did not have much to recommend it as a vacation resort!

My goodness - the description of streets full of shit and dead cattle was just delightful!

Fruits and flowers instead of smelly mud and dead cows should be more to your taste!
