Here is 31, a portrait of girlish innocence!

ah yes, this is a famous book and I liked the presentation Howell was making here of it. I think it was a favourite book of his

Excellently read again, no errors and totally PL ok.

thanks for another interesting listening session.

yes some of them are a bit bizarre and unusual to say the least. I always wonder whether the names were famous and often used back in those times.

This chapter is again PL ok.

Thanks

aha, you mean the tête-à-tête in the garden house while the rain pours down ? yes that was quite romantic. This section also gave me an interest to read Far from the Madding Crowd. Sounds like a good story.

Oh and extra kudos for the feat of that "stammering" performance in the beginning

Stuttering is something I find really hard to imitate.

PL ok again, although I found that two pauses were quite long:

> from 27:34-27:37 and from 33:54-33:56

but this is highly optional, you don't have to change it this time.

Hope you have a merry Christmas

You have a happy one too. Yes, you would like Far from the Madding Crowd. Yeah, I do have long pauses and try to fix them but some inevitably slip through. I will work on it. Jim

The pauses were too long for me to ignore, so I have shortened them and re-submitted. I made no other changes. Thanks for your help. Jim

Post by **Kitty** » December 24th, 2018, 2:57 pm

yes, sounds better

Still PL ok.

Merry Christmas. Hopefully you get something nice under the tree

You too.

Here is 34. See you then. Jim

never heard of this author before, but the story is too tragic for me to really like. I couldn't empathize with McLeod at all, not when he tried to abduct Gertrude. That puts him in the wrong. So both of them ending drowned goes against my sense of justice.

Regardless of topic....the section was interestingly narrated and is PL ok. Thanks

I hope you got some rest! Thanks for the Howells. We will be done soon.
