Working dir: redacted (a novel project). Purely mechanical extraction task, no writing.
Read chapters/011 through chapters/021 (*.md in chapters/). Extract EVERY spoken line by redacted, the Charter's clerk — he is a minor character so there are few, and I want all of them. Many lines are unattributed within an exchange — work out the speaker from alternation and context, and mark any you are less than certain about with (uncertain).
Also, separately, list every sentence of NARRATION anywhere in chapters/011-021 that describes redacted — his job, his hands, his cough, what he refuses to do, how he is regarded, what he writes.
Format spoken lines as:
[chapter file] one sentence of surrounding narration or the line he is answering
"THE VERBATIM LINE, exactly as in the file."Do NOT paraphrase or alter a single word. Your final message must be the two lists and nothing else — no preamble, no summary.

Now check chapters 017 (91-115), 018 (near 235), and 021 (60-75) for full dialogue context, plus scan whole chapters 011, 013, 016, 020 for any missed redacted dialogue.
