Question: What is the dialect of the narration? Is the dialect of the narration
correct for that geographic area? ( I'm no linguist ! )
Thank you for the tip regarding slate! I'll keep my eyes open the next time I
visit an area on the border between the States of Vermont and New York which had
extensive slate workings. The area roughly straddles the northern end of thev

Next time I think I'm having a bad day, I'm going to think of those guys using
