Dear Cindy,
Always With Love,
Oh, thanks Gerald. So it's my sight that made it easy for me. Personally, I don't like reading books with a lot of dialect, although as I recall the one I did validate, it didn't have all that much. But when I provided some missing pages to Shelley for Forrest Gump--wow. I wouldn't do that one. I did do the Dark is Rising sequence--the all-the-stories-in-one book--Jesse made t available to me because it was in such bad shape--page numbers missing et al. There was a lot of Welsh words and dialects of various kinds. When I read such books I don't bother thinking in dialect--I just read the words mentally as if they were regular English.

Extremely hard to validate if you don't just rubber stamp them. <Smile> Part of the time you don't know if you're looking at scanning errors or valid words because of her writing style. As I told Gustavo in my comments, "At's jis' th' way 'at th' ol' gal writes."

Hi, Gerald! I was just wondering if anyone had scanned this one. I haven't checked the validation list for a while, so I didn't realize it had been posted. I love the Mitford books, so I'm excited to read this one. I can imagine that they would be hard to validate, though. <Smile>
