Optional notes:
09:13 - wearer - first syllable sounds like it rhymes with ear, should rhyme with air
20:40 - wear - rhymes with air
27:23 - impostor - second syllable short o, as in lost
28:15 - did you mean to add the sub-chapter number here (6)? The others have them.
Optional comments:
12:40 and 16:59 - St. Louis - should this be French pronunciation? (I don't know)
25:54 - Comte Auguste d'Autichamp - I'm mostly not reading the written version, but I did notice the gutenberg html text has him as Charles.

Section 4 is up.
Section 4 PL OK!
Optional notes:
00:40 - yea - in this archaic sense I think it's "yay"
17:32 - midday - usually pronounced almost as if it's two words, "mid-day"
38:54 - haemorrhage - third syllable "ridge"
Section 5 is up. Ha ha, and now I'm the one who hasn't been getting notifications! Thanks so much for the pronunciation notes, I will get right on those. : )
Optional notes:
03:20 - malingering - hard g, as in "linger"
32:18 and 33:28 - Aven - the same river name pronounced two ways - I suppose the French-sounding one is right

Thanks! : ) Sections 2-4 fixed now, and section 6 uploaded.
Section 6 - I have an actual PL note this time! 00:04 - Missing part of the intro: "This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Read by Elin."
Optional notes:
36:09 - parquet - usually "par-kay"
Also congratulations on even attempting "contumely" and "obloquy", which I don't think I've heard anyone say out loud before
Thanks for the feedback! : ) Sections 5 and 6 fixed, and section 7 uploaded. I think the rules are that if something was not PL OK, you should check to be sure I fixed it (this is called "spot PL").
Optional notes:
13:04 - execrably - accent on first syllable I think
23:20 - de rigueur - in English it has a hard g (although I don't know about in French)
