I added section 16-18. In some chapters the author in the text mention some maps and they are shown in the book. I don't really know what to do on those cases. In other previous chapter i described the map with my own words because was a rather simple map. But the second one is most complex, so i decided to not read any reference to that map as the text explain very carefully the disposition of the rooms and their doors and windows, Anyway all is changeable and I really would like to hear your opinion as 2 opinions are always more complete than my own itself alone. Thanks

Sections 10-13 are PL OK!

With regards to the maps, whatever way you wish to do it is fine with me. I did notice that the map in Chapter 6 was part of a footnote that described the picture, which makes it easier, to incorporate into the reading if you wanted.

You could also add a comment in the summary that this particular story has drawings of maps that are referenced in the text, if the listener would like to look at them. Not a must, but certainly a way to handle them.

Section 14:

A repeat at 07:11 - "Al pasar frente á la pesada, pareció vacilir,"

Victor,

I suggest you not worry about describing the maps. We don't like to add narrative that is not in the text, and if a reader wants to see the map, a note in the book summary can given them a link to see for themselves.

Hey Kristin I really appreciate a lot your work. You have been doing the dpl of these long and not "very easy to hear" texts. When i decided to record them i imagined that would be nice to join some histories of well known detectives and i looked for Pd translations and that was what i founded in those old magazines (that kind of material is difficult to find) and i was very happy about my findings, but then when i started to record them i reealised that despite of being classic and famous the translations are very old and hard to read even for a native speaker, and i didn't know the wellknown book of Gaston Leroux was so long. So I imagine you hearing these old texts and very long chapters i really want to thanks your patience, willingness and generosity. Excuse my english (It's not the best) but i hope you get the picture. Thank you.
PD: Surely in many chapters you will find repetitions as if I'm getting faster in my editions still is the part i hate the most, and many times i don't recheck them before doing the upload.

They have been very interesting stories! You're doing a great job with them!

Leroux uses a lot of repeating phrases, so it's been fun trying to figure out what needs edited out and what is part of the narrative.

There is at least one page missing from the zip file for Cuarto Amarillo. It would fall between pages 32 and 33 of the zip file for the story. I'm not sure how to go about locating that page, but I did want to mention it.
