Cheers,

Thanks Winnifred! I really appreciate the help. I'll make sure you're credited as DPL.

I really need to finish this up. That's my weekend plan.

I finally have time to work on this again!

And so do I! Now that I've done some more PLing of dramatic readings, I believe there's nothing actually wrong in my doing a final PL of a chapter that I read for. Let me know if you disagree.

In that spirit, and since I now also have access to the MW, I've circled back and tackled Chapter 5, which is very nicely timed/edited. Just a couple of comments here:

At 2:41, I hear “Hollanden established himself in an oratical pose on a great weather-beaten stone.” The text reads “Hollanden established himself in an oratorical pose on a great weather-beaten stone.” You might want to fix that so as not to puzzle listeners.

At 6:48, after “Why did you—“ and before “The elder Worcester girl…” there’s a pause of a couple of seconds. I wonder whether this transition would sound better with less time here, since I’d have read the last sentence as an interruption of Hollanden’s sentence rather than him just trailing off. Your call, of course.

Cheers,

I had time this evening to tackle some more, so I've blitzed through Chapters 10, 12, 14, 17, and 23. They're all PL OK.

I hope to tackle the rest by the end of the weekend at the latest.

Cheers,
