Thanks again!
Section 21 is ready for PL.
I'm pronunciation checking important/repeated names but taking my best guess at the many one-offs here. I was less aware of the intensity of Hugo's name-dropping before I tried reading him aloud....

Tell me about it. And they come in bunches: "Go to Saint Bloowah and find Blah duPlawah also known as Goifwah and tell him to go to Gumbway and tell Pomflow also know as Goot de Floozz to meet Wandwett in Saint Wangoo."

You're handling it well, though.

Sections 23 and 24 are ready for PL. 25 is recorded but it may take me a while to get it edited and posted. Still working on maintaining consistent character voicing while pronouncing piles of French names.

Section 26 is ready for PL. Section 27 is recorded but it may take me a while to get it edited as it's currently just over an hour long. I think Hugo needed a more heavy-handed editor...

At 3:49 I have changed "he" to "Danton" in ""Oh, citizen Cimourdain is not unwelcome," he said."

The last named speaker in the Gutenberg text was Marat, but this speaker goes on to speak of Marat in the third person as someone other than himself. The Flammarion French edition has a short sentence about Danton immediately preceding this sentence which was somehow left out of Delano's translation. Danton does seem the logical speaker here anyway.

Section 26 PL OK.

I agree it is a textual error (I vaguely recall doing the same thing).

Section 27 is finally up for PL. I hope to get back to more frequent posting in this project soon. Lately I've been distracted by a freelance gig copy-editing someone's abridgment of *Les Misérables*, but I'll be done with that in another ten days or so and ready to put all my Hugo enthusiasm back into this project. Thank you for your PLing and your patience.
