Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups.

I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens.

Each episode I'll read a few chapters from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along.

It's like an audiobook with built-in notes.

So brew a pot of tea, find a cozy long, and we've got quite a bit to talk about. So I don't want to say too much here at the beginning, but I do want to thank

everyone who showed up for tea time on Thursday of last week. I had a really fun time. It was great

talking with you. I hope you had a fun time too. It was great to have some new people show up. It was

great to see all my old friends. And so thank you. Thank you for supporting the show in that way by being a part of

the drawing room, online community, and for showing up for tea time and joining us. So thank you.

I will let you know when the next one is going to be in a little while. When I schedule it,

it will be probably towards the end of June. Other than that, please just do all the usual things.

Subscribe if you haven't done that already.

Tap the five stars if you're enjoying the show and you haven't done that yet.

Leave a positive review in your podcast player if you're enjoying the show and you haven't

done that yet.

And tell everyone you know about this show so that we can have even more people listening

and you can have people in your life who are listening that you can talk to about these

books in real life because that is super fun and that makes the world a better place.

So please do that and let's get into this episode.

So last time we read chapter 41, today we're going to be

reading chapter 42, which again is a bit of a long chapter, but we also have lots to talk about.
