Droning away - I like it.

'Droning away', one of the suggestions I got from ChatGPT.

I didn't think about that previous translation. Perhaps I thought that 'prayer house' was more appropriate for a Protestant denomination since most Norwegians are/were Lutheran. But 'chapel' will do.

In previous units I translated bedehuset as "the chapel". Is there any reason we couldn't maintain that for consistency?
