I have to be honest. I don’t have the best hearing, and I can’t hear mos of what Father is saying, and the transcript that comes with this YouTube video is worthless. Is anyone willing to post Father’s suggestions?

Oh my, that’s quite a bit. Can I just focus on Chesterton’s Father Brown mysteries for now?
