Here is Section 5. Thanks. Hope all is well. 
ah great, another interesting chapter. I also loved Northanger Abbey, very funny
I must admit I haven't read Persuasion yet, but it sounds like a good story, so I'm surely gonna check it out one of these days.No errors at all, Jim. Can be marked PL ok immediately.
Oh and I claimed a short orphaned section in my World Story project, so you'll be up for some PLing as well soon again

Thanks, Sonia. I'll keep an eye out for your read. I taught Northanger once. But I also have not read Persuasion. Yours, Jim

I see you kindly ignored my mispronunciation of madam. I do know the difference between French and English. I think I mispronounced it the 1st time and then just stuck with it.. Apologies! 
I think my Northanger also may be screwy.
I think my Northanger also may be screwy. I didn't think it was important to say Madame or Madam, sorry, would you want me to point this out next time ?neecheelok70 wrote: ↑May 8th, 2018, 11:17 am I see you kindly ignored my mispronunciation of madam.

Northanger I noticed once but also there, it was perfectly understandable, so I didn't think I needed to mention it.I'll be more picky if you wish.

No, no--no criticism of you at all, ever. I knew you were following the proper protocol. I guess I just wanted you to know that I knew that I had erred. Yours, Jim

More heroines--section 6. Thanks.
Oh, I should mention that the first edit was a change of the text as you can see. The word there was net, which didn't make any sense to me in the context. And I was at a loss to find a substitute and finally settled on apt

great characterization of Marianne Dashwood. I love Sense and Sensibility.As for "net", I think the author meant the 2nd etymology of the word as explained on wiktionary:
but I don't think you need to change it again as "apt" is also a good description.Etymology 2
From Middle English net, nette, borrowed from Old French net, from Latin nitidus. Compare nitid, neat.
net (not comparable)
1.(obsolete) Good, desirable; clean, decent, clear.
PL ok as far as I'm concerned
Sonia
yes it's great how we can enhance our vocabulary with these texts...although, many words are obsolete nowadays
Sonia
ah the infamous black veil, of course it couldn't be missing in this book
I had to read Radcliffe for my Gothic novel course at university, but I actually quite enjoyed it. 
The other two authors I have never heard of.
So many books we still need to record for LV. Section 7 is PL ok, no problems at all.
Thanks for some great new insights.Sonia
