Thanks for looking it over!  
I haven’t tried looking for professionals; I was hoping to find one or more folks who like the idea of volunteering for LibriVox, which is a free resource. I can’t afford to pay a professional actor, and the resulting recording would be for the public domain.

Though, now that you mention it, maybe there’s an aspiring voice actor out there who… 😉

My first thought about avoiding the word “dug” is that I’d seen it used as a synonym for teats in books of about the same time period. Otherwise, no idea.
