    The Empire Builder killing most ferocious animals wirh his pocket knife and the lovely lady with her eyes partly like twin stars and partly like snails! PGW, the last word in humor with amazing mastery over language.
    Brilliant narration as ever.
    Thank you

Just fabulous rendering… thank you 🙏

    The scene at the bar was described so vividly. One can readily picture the setting. I laughed uncontrollably at the part a mere "Thanks" sets off William. Humorous to the core.. And delightful narration too

    As both a native-born San Franciscan and a raving Wodehouse fanatic, you can probably imagine how delighted I am to hear this story. I am, in fact, tickled pink! I would say “Thanks”, but it might be taken as a grave insult 😂

      Hey SF, Cali! It's Chicago! Yeh Nicky is da bomb! His accents are on the nose. Chicago has the same stormy rain snow buried city, a bleak gloomy chi night, 2 days before Christmas and not a flake ta be seen. 😮. I am crocheting, drinking ice tea/ diet Pepsi mix, vaping juul traditional, and listening to my ten yr old lady cat softly snore. Pleasant. We in USA, no matter where, are the most blessed, lucky, richest (even those on subsidy) in the world. 🌎 Nicky is the icing on the cake. 🍰m. Illinois

Wishing you blessings & sending love, your sister in Christ.✝️🙏🏼👏👍🏼 dk how you find the time, but we’re ready for more. Hoping not so long in between. 😊🕊️🙏🏼✝️💙

    There's something fishy about the suspension bridge in the illustration. As the road passes away beyond the middle tower it joins the land on top of a cliff, yet the two cables (between middle and farthest towers) are at their lowest point here, exactly where suspension is not needed. The road doesn't even pass through the farthest tower at all because it's on the other side of the water at that point. Also, the cables on the nearest tower do not dip midway between this first tower and the second; they go to the road in a place that makes no sense. Most egregious, however, is the fact that the middle tower is not supported by cables between itself and the nearest tower, meaning that if it were actually supporting something (it's not) it would collapse away from us, as it's not supported...Only AI could have produced such terrible engineering.
    Good story though ---

    This is a fantastic performance. I was particularly impressed with your portrayal of the male characters' voices. However, for the female character's voice, having a female collaborator might have been more fitting.
