You are a really engaging reader, Christopher! Just two comments:

Thanks. Ready for PL.
Cheers,

I've got a really full day today. But should be able to catch up on everything tomorrow - Betsy

OK, let’s try this again. https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/powderofsympathy_37_morley_128kb.mp3 54:26 Closer, but still wrong start point. This time you skipped the LV intro and this text: "MAXIMS AND MINIMS KINSPRITS You know how it is: there are books that magically con..." Betsy

Well, I read another one, Section 37, and tried to edit it to eliminate long silences. I think it may come from my stopping-and-starting technique, which needs work. I also am trying not to actually pause as long between chapters or topics. Anyway, here you go: The length of this recording is 29:44...

In the meantime, I saw the Section Numbers and put a new front and back end on Section 27, Midsummer in Salamis. https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/powderofsympathy_27_morley_128kb.mp3 Hi Tom - Very nicely read. My only comments have to do with the length of pauses. --The longest one ...

Wow - very good work! PL Okay Betsy

Good catch, Betsy. My imagination pushed aside the reality of the words on the page...again!
