Section 79 PL okay.

It's difficult to see what the numbers in those two tables of working skills of the vagrants mean. ... but we're drowning in numbers by this time!

Reading the narrator for Alice's Tea Party, there's a line highlit for the dormouse which I think is actually one of Alice's: Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to some tea and bread-and-butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her question. Dormouse: “W...

May I read Section 14, the Narrator from Alice's Tea Party, please?

Section 78 PL okay.

Section 77 PL okay!

We're rattling along. I've really got to settle to recording volume 1 again; you put me to shame.

I have a busy rest-of-the-week, though.

Thanks for all that work, Gill. PL perfect following the corrections, except ..... and I'm sorry that I missed it on my first pass ... in "... many of them provinge shifters, lyvinge by cozeninge, stealinge ..." you've had them "lying and cozening", rather than "living by cozening" (33.58) Change it...

Gill, PL notes for Section 77 The Carrying Trade 2620 "Prescriptive right, and the laws and by-laws of the corporation ..." Read as "rights" [I wouldn't have mentioned this, but if you're correcting others, you might tidy up this one.] 2710 "... what constitutes the business of a fellowship-porter."...

Thanks, Gill; I've not listened to your recording yet, but, for me, I'd try to read that stuff as if I were making an attempt to read Chaucer in the original, perhaps with just those terminal and near-terminal "e"'s pronounced.

I'll PL tomorrow and get back to you.

Peter

and here's section 76 PL okay.

I'd forgotten that we have all the readers' parts' acknowledgments, so here's the first section, preceded by the dramatis personae:

For story 3, NoelVox has offered to re-record James.

When I merged the files in my first attempt, I think I found it too difficult to copy across the inspector's "have" convincingly, and left it. But I've now changed its pitch and tempo a little, and it's a bit better. I'm not sure whether it would be better to leave the original as it was. Your choic...

Here's story 2, Dulcamara:

Do tell me if you think anything needs adjusting.

Edited section 73 is PL okay.

EDIT: Section 74 PL okay.
EDIT: Section 75 PL okay. It was odd to see that paragraph comparing the criminal tendencies of the various classes.
