And here are my notes for section 34: - At 0:31, "Through her mind there swept again the memory of a day that seemed very far away," you say "Through her mind there was swept again the memory of a day that seemed very far away" - At 1:26, "I never destroy a pretty illusion i...

Re: [DUET]The Knave of Diamonds by Ethel M. Dell - kit

Thank you! I seem to be back on track. *fingers crossed* And I'm caught up! (With this project, anyway.) Here are my notes for section 32: - At 4:15, "Pardon the contretemps !" you say "Pardon the contempts !" - At 6:06, "No, don't, please !" you say "No, please do...

Chapter 6, The End Of Solitude, attached in 17:31: https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/darkstar_25_chambers_128kb.mp3 Swashbucking indeed! Honest to goodness, I feel like I just did a scene from a Bogart/Bacall movie, with a little James Cagney thrown in! Fun, fun, fun, but I know that t...

Re: [FICTION] The Dark Star by Robert W. Chambers -jo

Thanks as usual, Scarbo, for the lend of your (world class) ears and eyes, and for your uncanny focus on detail. Your first three notes are typical for me (vision and sloppy enunciation issues) but the fourth I'm not certain of. I THOUGHT I mimicked the 'google translate' gal pretty close, BUT some...

Claire, just to let you know, I ran into computer trouble today and I'm still playing catch-up, so I won't be able to give section 32 a listen until tomorrow.

Section 25, Cup and Lip, attached, in 18:09: https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/darkstar_25_chambers_128kb.mp3 Seemed to be an inocuous, bordering on dull, romance till the last few sentences, Then all heck breaks lose, a la a hollywood action flick!

Re: [FICTION] The Dark Star by Robert W. Chambers -jo

Re: [FICTION] The Dark Star by Robert W. Chambers -jo

Can I get in on this title please? Say, chapter 25? I think need a dose of that 'special' PLing to brush up on my quality, and I see there's a little French involved, too, which is a plus for me (I mean as long as it's not more that a mono-linguistic Anglophone can comfortably handle) Thank you, Br...
