thank you Nemo, quite an interesting voice you gave the Baron. A bit different from your other readings so far. But I can picture him quite well that way.

The bits you have read are excellent, and no errors, but you forgot to record quite a big part of your lines

> at about 10:43:

p. 50 middle:
“Also a sportsman ?”

> at the end:

> p. 54 middle:
[Lectoure bursts out laughing] - maybe you could give us a sneering laugh here. I'm sure that would make the scene very lively

"Yes; only you forgot [… up till …] provoke him to fight.”

“Emmanuel will arrange all these things, with your second, that regard me in this way.”

> p. 55 bottom:
“Yes, Madam [… up till …] more than her share of that misfortune.”

> p. 57 middle:
“Certainly Madam.”

“You say, then, that Madam de la Jarry is horribly afraid of the sea ?”

> p. 61 bottom:
“Sir !”

> p. 62 top:
“I want satisfaction of you”

(I hope I haven't forgotten to mention any...

)

Well bloody hell! ..... something crazy must have happened when I downloaded the archive source text into a plain text doc.

Thanks Sonia, back to work!

thank you !!! And this extreme nasty sneering laugh is worth all the extra work

This will be an excellent addition to the entire scene.

All the other sentences now PL ok and as far as I can see, nothing missing anymore. Thanks for the quick work.

thanks Sandra, wonderfully read again. You are not a "dry" narrator, but are putting appropriate feeling into some of the lines. That way the audience will not get torn out of the action.

Acts 1, 3, 4 and 5 are PL ok

Unfortunately I have one PL note for Act 2:

> at about 1:52: missing sentence: “Exit into chamber”

could you please insert that one line and reupload ? Thanks

I'd like to take the Notary. (Notaries are my thing...)

Another notary?

Okay, you have it.

Draft of act 5 posted in the MW - missing a character still, not ready for PL, but WOW - what an ending! Dumas does know how to write emotionally. And you all do it great justice!

Thanks, Todd

Oh I am soooo curious to listen to this. (but I will restrain myself)

Anybody out there who wants to take the role of Lafeuille ?

Pleeeeease ?

Sonia

No need for you to restrain your self - the missing part does not much affect the drama, and you have the starring role in that act.

But I have also uploaded Act 4, and there the missing voice is critical to any enjoyment, so you certainly should pass listening to that one by for now.

EDIT: Also uploaded Act 3 - many readers still missing in that one. That Baron is one evil dude! And the Marchioness is a very scheming lady - good thing I know she finds redemption in Act 5!

Thanks, Todd
