My apologies about this episode being out of order (for PodBean listeners only - I was able to figure out a workaround to place the episode in it's proper location for Apple Podcast listeners. Presumably this is also the case for Spotify, but I haven't checked it).
As I am my own editor, engineer and tech guy, and my skills are mid at best, I'm afraid that this is where this episode will now live (in PodBean, anyway). Again, sorry about the inconvenience and any confusion that may result.
As always, thanks for listening and here's to no further glitches!
Cheers!

Part 2 of 18
By Virginia Woolf, 1925
A quick note on my presentation:
"Mrs. Dalloway" contains no chapters and no divisions of any substantive kind. The novel starts and then continues until it ends. There are a couple of instances when there is a wider paragraph break with a line separating parts, but these occur infrequently and can only be relied upon here and there for stopping/starting points of these recorded parts. Consequently, I've done my best to come up with what seem (to me) to be reasonable starting and stopping points for my episodes, trying to keep the flow of the story uppermost in my consideration, while also producing episodes of reasonable lengths. My hope is that the eighteen episodes I project to be necessary to complete the novel will be the most comfortable format for all of us. We'll see how it goes!
Cheers!
