Happy PL'ing!

Hi, I'm inclined to volunteer for Chapter 5 now. However. There's a real blooper by the author in the second to last paragraph of this chapter: he states that Edward VI is the child of Anne Boleyn. Big oops! :oops: As a matter of historical fact, as is very well known, he was the child of Jane Seymo...

Hi,
I'd like to volunteer for Chapter 2, parts 1 and 2.
Thank you!

Thanks so much! I kept hoping you were still working on this one, but I didn't want to pester you about it. This is now in the MW for PLing :clap: and there's only one chapter to go! :mrgreen: Yeah, sorry about the delay - I was fighting a sinus thing that just refused to go away. My immune system'...

Hi, folks! I'm finally free to commit to some new readings

Happy PL'ing!

I had a listen too, and it sounds clear to me! Well done Dorothy! We have now sorted out a clear text for chapter 7, if you were still interested in reading that one? I'd be happy to, Eliza, but scheduling-wise I have some unavoidable commitments coming up so you'd probably have to wait three weeks...

Section 8 uploaded: https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/menwomenandguns_08_mcneile_128kb.mp3, duration 42:53. Very nicely read, and really enjoyable story!! :D Just one optional edit, at 13:59, text "asked the Earl" sounds like "asked the girl" if you think it's worth the editing. Otherwise I'...

PL note section 6: 28:20 - repeat " where this overgrown, distempered plant is singled out as a fair but.. where this overgrown, distempered plant is singled out as a fair but for his sallies" At the end the outro should be "End of Chapter [number] (what says in the MW under "Title")." Everything e...

Hi, I was going to volunteer to read section 7: chapter 7, The Death Grip, but in reading it through I noticed that pages 186 and 187 are missing from both the image file and the OCR'd full text. Moving forward, more issues: a bunch of other pages in that chapter are mixed up and repeated, and then,...

Hi,
I'd like to claim sections 15 and 16 (the first two parts of ch. 4, Paracelsus...)
Thanks!

If Ch 4 is open, I'd like to claim it.
