Episode 20'And the reason for that was perhaps this, that little by little Watt abandoned all hope, all fear, of ever seeing Mr. Knott face to face, or perhaps this, that Watt, while continuing to believe in the possibility of his seeing one day Mr. Knott face to face, came to regard its realization as one to which no importance could be attached,...'

Episode 19.What was this in Mrs. Gorman, what was this in Watt, that so appealed to Mr. Watt, so melted Mrs. Gorman? Between what deeps the call, the counter-call? Between Watt not a man's man and Mrs. Gorman not a woman's woman?

Episode 16.nbsp;'Watt wondered if Arsene, Walter, Vincent and the others had passed through the same phase as that through which Erskin then was passing, and he wondered if he Watt would pass through it too, when his time came. Watt could not easily imagine Arsene behaving in such a way, nor himself either for that matter. But there were many things that Watt could not easily imagine.'nbsp;

Episode 15.nbsp;'For reasons that remain obscure Watt was, for a time, greatly interested, and even fascinated, by this matter of the dog, the dog brought into the world, and maintained there, at considerable expense, for the sole purpose of eating Mr. Knott's food, on those days on which Mr. Knott was not pleased to eat it himself, and he attached to this matter an importance and even a significance, that seemed hardly warranted.'nbsp;
Customer Reviews
Until Re-recorded, Don't Bother!
Bless his heart, the reader gave it a try but English is not his first language and it is utterly IMPOSSIBLE to understand him.
His cadence & pronunciation are so far off that it is truly exhausting to try deciphering his recording. The only thing I could understand was his thanking the audience, at the end of each chapter, for listening. The only reason I know that is b/c I checked to see if he read the whole book. Unfortunately, he did. So, there is no skipping through the occassional bad chapter here--it is thoroughly rotten.
THE DOWNLOAD WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME!
