Muncy, I think both might be confusing, but you're welcome to pick whichever one you like. :D

The instructions for the narration are very clear - thanks! Now one more thing - the pronunciation of Heneage and Nogam. I don't know how to find IPA characters here. Anyhow, is Heneage 2 syllables, like hen'-edge, or 3, like hen'-ee-edge? Or something else? And is it no'-gum, or gnaw'-gum?

I found the first one - per http://reference.allrefer.com, Heneage is pronounced hen'ij.

Thanks for tracking down Heneage, Margaret! I had wondered about that one too. For Nogam, my own instinct would be to say no'-gum, unless anyone finds evidence to the contrary.

Thanks, that was fun, in a weird sort of 'remember kids, divorce is for the frivolous' kind of way!

Here the narration of Act 1. Let me know if the length of the pauses is right, or if there's anything else I should do differently.

Thanks, muncy!

Margaret, I didn't listen to the whole thing, but what I heard sounded perfect. I will get back to both of you if there are any PLing questions.

Rashada, you're welcome to Miss Heneage. You can tell which parts have been claimed by looking at the Magic Window in the first post; if there's no reader name next to a character name, it's free for the taking! (Unless I've been lax in keeping it up to date, in which case you can tell by reading the last few posts in the thread to see if anyone's claimed it.)

Welcome to Librivox, and if you have any questions, please let me know!

I'm willing to take on Matthew, if it should happen to become assigned to me. :)
