Summary

How very right Alice and Martha were about the first single-digit One Page at a Time! "Jim Dale" gets to do the full narration this week, as Mr. Dursley drifts into an uneasy sleep and the cat on the wall doesn't move an inch (wow!). Dumbledore stomps down the Privet Drive runway, and while we're at it, we may as well do a deep dive into the origins of the street's name!

0:00.0	Book 1, page 8.
0:02.9	May I have your attention, please?
0:07.9	May I have your attention, please?
0:13.0	Will the real weird sisters please stand up?
0:16.6	We're going to have a problem here.
0:18.3	We're the weird sisters, we're the real weird sisters.
0:20.4	All you are, the weird sisters are fine, but not the vickers. Will the real weird sisters, please stand up, please stand up, please stand up. Hi, and welcome to the real weird sisters.

0:38.4	Well, how very right we were.
0:40.7	We kind of call exactly what this page was going to be.
0:44.2	We said we thought we were going to be done with Dursley stuff and moving on to Professor
0:49.0	McGonagall or you even said the line how very wrong he was.
0:52.9	And that's the page we ended up with.
0:55.6	We get a tiny bit of Dursleys, and then we get the appearance of a strange man on the corner of Drivet Drive.
1:03.6	Yes.
1:04.0	So right at the transition between the two parts of the chapter, and this will be a fun one for me to read,

1:12.4	on this entire page. Not a spot of dialogue. So with our dialogue ratio, we can do that right away,
1:18.6	zero to zero. And the other thing I will say is I suppose it is payback because you had to read so
1:24.1	much dialogue last week with all your different voices. Good point.
1:27.5	So it all comes back in the wash.
1:30.6	But before we jump into our reading of the page, we do have to talk about bands and albums from last week.
