I was considering playing The Waiter - but when I went to take a look, I noticed pages 118-119 are missing from the script.

“What ho!" I said.
"What ho!" said Motty.
"What ho! What ho!"
"What ho! What ho! What ho!"
After that it seemed rather difficult to go on with the conversation.”

Don't know where they went, but they are there today.

Thanks, Todd

PL NOTES:

SECTION 16

Hi Lydia. The only issue I found with this section is the volume. It comes in at 85.2dB and should be between 86-92dB. Please correct this and re-upload for the ok. Thanks!

Actually, I can usually correct a low volume when I edit so long as 80 or higher. Worst problem is high volume that causes clipping - distortion - too late to fix once in a copy - that can only be fixed by adjusting the original recording.

Thanks, Todd

Should I fix the low volumes, then, or can you fix them? I don't really have a ton of time, because I'm leaving the country on Saturday and I really need to pack.

Todd, I am hesitant to offer your services for any repairs so I will instead enter the PL Notes as I see them. You may then post if you wish to do those changes yourself. Will that work?

PL NOTES:

SECTION 61 - Charity Pecksniff - His daughter

The volume is a bit low at 84.7dB

Only a few hidden lines that need to be addressed here.

~33-43 There should be "scornful laughing" from bottom of pg 96.

Miss C. Those the cap fits, let them wear it.
[Here she sits down sharply and turns her back on
the Miss Pecksniffs. Charity and Mercy begin at
once to laugh scornfully—Mercy laughing far more
naturally than life.

~43-53 There should be "scornful laughing" from middle of pg 99.

Charity and Mercy. Or flogged.
[They laugh scornfully

PL NOTES:

SECTION 72 - Montague Tigg - An undesirable acquaintance of Martin Chuzzlewit

~ 3.56-4.00 There is a point near the bottom of the page where Tigg is about to speak and Martin cuts him off.
I am not sure what should be done here. Todd?

M. C. [Biting his Up] Now, sir, this is a large town,
and we can easily find different ways in it. If you will
show me which is your way, I will take another. [Mr.
Tigg is about to speak, but Martin interposes.]

~ 5.05-5.09 There is a misread here. "It being a matter of business" should be "It being made a matter of business"

I don't mind just having the narrator say these narration words. Laughter by a reader can sound awfully forced unless they do it right....

Thanks, Todd
