Twinkle88 wrote:Bab, by far, has more lines than any other female role (besides Miss Celia). Personally, I think she'd be fun to record, and I'm sure you'd do an awesome job with her!
So, I'd recommend Bab, but you could also choose Randa the maid, the teacher, or any of the female school children (--they're anyone without "Mrs." or "Aunt" in front of their name).

OK, if you're all right with it, I think I'd like to do Bab, then

Thanks a lot!

Thank you, Rachel!

And it's cool to have sisters read for characters who are sisters!

That was GREAT!! Beautiful reading! And good spacing in between lines.

Just one PL note:
Missing line @ 16:55: "and Bab stopped short in the arch..."

But that's all! Thank you!

Oooh! Ok, sorry about that - here is the revised file:

Possible mistake spotted in Chapter 7:

Miss Celia: "I don't doubt it, but I won't forget the book. Good-by, my lad, we shall soon meet again," and away went Miss Celia as if she were in a hurry to get back.

I think The bold line should be read by the narrator but it was highlighted for the role. I didn't read it.

Thanks for the hint, Lian! This is part of the narrator's text as you mentioned.
I'm sure Twinkle will edit this soon

Yes indeedy, zwergwolf, I'll get right on that!

Thanks for catching it, Lian! (And if you find a similar mistake later, just read it like you did this time.

I'm just a lil' excited about this right now.

Hey, just wanted to tell you, I have printed out my text for Chapter 7, and went ahead & bolded that section ("and away went Miss Celia as if she were in a hurry to get back"), so no need to go to any extra trouble to fix it for me.

No, this is GREAT! Especially from someone with so many lines in the book! Thank you!!

That's fine. I could be wrong, but I don't think it's necessary to make a note of the file size (--just the time length--), anyway. Just letting you know so there's less work for you.
