The em dash in UK & Ireland is only used at the end of broken off speech, the parenthetical usage is the spaced en dash, when a dash is more appropriate than ( ) or , ,.
Thanks. Looking forward to these. Though I may have already download them from Gutenberg.

I'm not really sure, whether my edit is correct. I was purely following the format of the scanned copies of the Father Brown collections, which suggests my edit to be correct. Unfortunately there are no scanned copies to proofread against. So I'm not entirely sure, which is why I made the note. If at sometime in the future I can find a scanned copy, I would definitely give the whole story a full proofread.
also. I hope you enjoy them. I didn't note in the original post, but this collection contains Max Pemberton's part of 'The Donnington Affair'. Where as the Gutenberg version is only Chesterton's part.
