Chapters 1 & 4 are PL OK.

For chapters 2 & 3, please add about 0.5 seconds of silence at the start for both of them so there is between 0.5 and 1 second of silence.

BTW, Your narration is SUPERB and I look forward listening to more . . . although, I cringe at the thought of Augusta and Sara sending their orphaned nieces and nephew to someone else at such a vulnerable time in their life. What "two-faced-apples" they are!

Thank you. Yes, very self-centered aunts making for a very Charles Dickens like scenario.

I've reuploaded 2 & 3 as well as adding chapters 5 & 6.

DariaAM · Post by **DariaAM** » July 1st, 2021, 1:16 am

Sections 2 and 3 are officially PL OK.

I'll try to listen to the newly uploaded chapters sometime during the weekend.

Chapters 5 & 6 are PL OK.

Just clearly not very quickly. Chapter 7 & 8 have been uploaded.

Are you still working on this project, M. H.?

MichelleHannah · Post by **MichelleHannah** » October 23rd, 2021, 5:21 pm

I am still working on it. I've just been really busy of late and its really slowed my progress. I will get some more chapters out soon.
