david e30effca46 Fix Gemini voice genders in books 9-12 (achernar is a female voice)
Male-described speakers were mapped to the female voice achernar (and a few
females to schedar) — 210 VOICE swaps across the four regenerated books.
Also: book-11 'Two Letters' now labeled Jane:/Ann: with female voices
instead of one Narrator (Yana's report), and junk auto-declared 'VOICE: ID'
lines dropped.

LINE: At first he thought an emergency vehicle was following him.
LINE: Then he realized it was a policeman.
LINE: He pulled over, lowered his window, and asked "What's the matter, officer?"
LINE: The policeman answered, "You were speeding.
LINE: Also, you failed to use your turn signal when you changed lanes."
LINE: The policeman gave Max a ticket and told him he could pay the fine or go to a driving school.
LINE: Max chose to go to the driving school because it cost less than the fine.
LINE: Now he's listening to the instructor's advice.

EXAMPLE
TEMPLATE: A fever can be a symptom of other problems.
TEMPLATE: A fever with an earache can mean that the person needs to see a doctor and take stronger medicine. A fever with a cough, a runny nose, and body aches can be more than just a cold.
TEMPLATE: A fever and a stomachache together can be really bad.
RESPONSE: Topic: fever. Main idea: A fever can mean that there are other problems.
TEMPLATE: When you have colds, don't give them to other people. Cover your nose when you sneeze, and cover your mouth when you cough.
TEMPLATE: Take your medicine, and follow your doctor's advice. When you have a fever, or your cold gets worse, stay home and rest.
TEMPLATE: You'll get well quicker, and your friends and family will be happier. They don't want to catch your cold.
RESPONSE: Topic: colds. Main idea: When you have a cold, you should rest and not give it to other people.
TEMPLATE: "Be careful of the driver in the car behind the car ahead of you." This sentence looks confusing, but it's one of the most important rules in safe driving.
TEMPLATE: Other drivers aren't the only ones who might be careless; we might make a careless mistake on the highway, too.
TEMPLATE: We should worry about other drivers, but we should also be sure that we're driving cautiously.
RESPONSE: Topic: safe driving. Main idea: We should worry about other drivers, but also be sure that we're driving cautiously.
TEMPLATE: Many things tell us what a speed limit sign should say. One of them is the number of people who use the street, road, or highway.
TEMPLATE: Another is the places that those people are going to. Are they traveling to work or to their homes? Are they on vacation?
TEMPLATE: The kind of street, road, or highway also decides the speed limit. A high speed limit isn't safe on a narrow, curved road with only two lanes. Because a wide, straight road with many lanes is safer, the speed limit on it can be higher.
RESPONSE: Topic: speed limits. Main idea: Many things tell us what a speed limit sign should say.
