What was I thinking?

All kidding aside, Chris. This is not fun. 500 words is a lot to translate! I have probably spent about 4 hours on this so far and I'm maybe half done. Yes, it's getting easier and faster, so I should only be another hour or so -- but that's an hour I should have spent finishing off Mansfield Park (by the way -- sorry, Christine, but if this is Austen? I don't like her).
