[COMPLETE]Heroines of Fiction by Howells,William Dean-kit

Post by **Kitty** » October 1st, 2018, 12:32 am

Section 24 again had two interesting heroines. I already had Middlemarch on my reading list for some time, maybe I should give it a go soon.

I have only one small note this time:

> at 28:14: (p. 77): “it was from Ladislaw...” – here you have a break of over 2 seconds in the middle of the sentence, which seems too long for me while listening. It would benefit from cutting it down a bit.

The rest word-perfect as always

I have submitted 25. I had trouble with noise reduction and was ultimately forced to lower the volume to get the noise level down. I had done numerous actions before, which tended to distort the sound a bit, so if you think it needs re-recording, I can do that.

strange, what happened ? Well, there is no need to re-record all this

but indeed the volume is much lower than in the previous sections, but that doesn't matter, in the archiving process the volumes all get synchronised a bit more, so I guess this will get taken care of automatically.

There's only one small detail to change:

> in the outro disclaimer you say "End of Book 2 Chapter 6" while in all the other chapters you said "End of Section 25" (in this case)

And wow, this husband of Janet was a brute

this chapter had one of the hardest-to-swallow excerpts. Not sure I would like to read that book.

Oh, yeah, outro--wishful thinking, I suppose. Will fix.

when did 26 get in the MW !!! you didn't post any message, so I wasn't notified.

Not sure I will get to it today, I'm a bit swamped right now. But it won't be forgotten.

Actually, I was holding off on the message to give you more time to do other stuff. I feel at times I ask too much, though I know you insist otherwise. Jim

aww how sweet of you. But you can always alert me of new sections, if I don't find the time, I know you will not mind waiting a day or two.

That said, I checked your section just now and it's PL ok. I am enjoying your sections because I know they are a quiet easy listen and usually you don't make mistakes, so it will not be hard on me as DPL.

This Crosbie is a real mean guy though, to leave the girl like that just for money.
