Volume II, book iv: the Winners

Again sorry about the inconsistency in the schedule folks-- and also tumblr ate this draft, oh dainty duck oh dear.

2.4

Wraxall, Denny, and Donougher win for "The Gorbeau Tenement", though the votes were decently split (aside from Rose, who got 0%, alas).

2.4.1

A nearly 2/3 lead for "Master Gorbeau", as translated by Wilbour, Wraxall, Hapgood, Beckwith, and FMA.

2.4.2

Wilbour and FMA's "A Nest for Owl and Wren" got the majority of the vote, but there were supporters all around. Also, thank you to @blatherby for typing up Donougher's footnote!

2.4.3

A big push for Beckwith here, with 31.4% for "Two Misfortunes Mingled Make Happiness"!

2.4.4

A decently split vote here, but Denny ended up with the win for "Matters Observed by the Chief Tenant".

2.4.5

To close out this book, a win for FMA, with "A Five-Franc Piece Falling to the Floor Makes a Noise".

Tallies:

Wilbour: 2

Wraxall: 2

Hapgood: 1

Beckwith: 2

Denny: 2

FMA: 3

Rose: 0 😔 sorry Rose

Donougher: 1

Very interesting results, and different from how the votes have tended to trend!
