Shelley, Did you get Beowulf from the library or from a used-book store? I downloaded Astra, by Grace Livingston Hill, to validate, thinking I could get it from my library, but it seems to be lost, and my other two library systems don't have it. A lot of her books are being republished, but that one apparently hasn't been yet. The copyright date is 1941. I'm going to work on it as much as I can, while I'm doing other books, too, in the hopes that it will turn up--or be republished and the library will get a new copy. There are parts that I just can't figure out what's mssing, though. If I don't have a copy to compare by the time I finish, I'll keep mine for some future date and reject rather than keep renewing. I was wondering, though, if you or someone could get a copy so I could ask about things if I can't figure them out. I'm asterisking the problems words and spaces for the time being, hoping my library's copy will turn up.
