Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans

Thanks, Laura. Yes, it was an odd series of interviews. I liked the narrator's sympathy with that maid being interviewed by the spinster. I've added a little to the summary on the first post, to mention his middle-class viewpoint. Chapter 22 edited and re-uploaded. I still had Miss Primworthy's aup ...

Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans

Thanks, Laura. I've uploaded chapter 22: Half an hour in a servants' registry office (pdf pages 318-344)

I had to upload twice, as the first attempt gave an error .... but the second upload was very fast, so there may still be a problem.

Re: Choosing a computer monitor

Thanks; I've chosen a new monitor that's not too expensive, nominal 32inch screen. As I'm in no hurry, I'll hope for it to be reduced in the post-Christmas sales.

Re: Choosing a computer monitor

Now, that's a curious idea! I'll look into it. My feeling at the moment is that I'd prefer the monitor ... more because a screen like this is how I've always viewed films, but I might be willing to change.

Re: Choosing a computer monitor

Not at all ... it's for watching DVDs! I do have a life outside LibriVox ... honestly. I know nothing about how the technology has changed over the last ten or fifteen years. The old monitor that I use for viewing the DVDs feels too small .. especially when I'm watching with a friend. That's with wa...

Choosing a computer monitor

I don't have a television (and don't want one !), but I have a DVD/blu-ray player connected to a computer monitor via a video converter (with amplifier and speakers carrying the sound). The monitor I'm using is rather small (19" x 10.5" ... approximately 22" diagonal). I'm thinking of...

I agree .. from nine or ten years old! ... though we have them now, too ... for different reasons, though.

Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans

Laura, I was looking ahead through the book, making a note of chapter titles, when I found a corrupt page in the pdf from archive.org. It's in the chapter "A Night With Thieves". I found a copy on google books, and saved the missing page as a jpg. Here's the google books reference:- https:...

Thanks, Laura; I'm just grateful that I'm not living near Etna or Grindavik.

Have a lovely weekend.

Re: [SOLO] Wonderful London - Anonymous-ans

Thanks, Laura; I've uploaded Chapter 20. (pdf pages 293-303 / text pages 270-280)
There's a fragment of poetry just before the end. I had no idea what the poet was trying to say, so I may have the emphases wrong. If you have any ideas, I'd be happy to rerecord it.

Thanks, Rapunzelina; I enjoyed reading the story ... it was very underplayed, but seemeed to flow well.

Re: Welsh Rarebit Tales

I've just recorded The Story The Doctor Told and offered it to Rapunzelina for the current Ghost and Horror Story collection.

I just did it out of curiosity .. and perhaps it'll trigger someone else's fancy .... or get you going at it!
