Hi Availle
Sorry for the delay I've been busy for the past few weeks, I'll try to upload section 12 next week.
And also, I just noticed that I've made a mistake in section 11 ending part, instead of saying "End of section 11", I said "End of Chapter 30 Part 1"

I will amend and upload it together with section 12 next week. I am so sorry for the inconveniences.

Hi Minn,

thanks for checking in! From the date of your claim you have 2 months to complete your recording, so you are perfectly on time still! Besides, it's not that this project is only waiting for you, so no worries!

About the section ending: Oh, our DPL didn't even flag that.

It's not hugely important, if you don't want to change it, it's fine too. Just make sure you have the correct intro/outro with all your future recordings.

note: at 26:34, it seems that 'away' should be read instead of 'way'

This is section 21 for PL please.
https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/dreamredchamber2_21_cao_128kb.mp3 [29:55]

note: 1. at 11:20, it seems that a 'the' should be added before 'servants'; 2. at 27:24, 'fell' seems to be a typo of 'felt'

I would also like to claim sections 22 and 23
Thanks

This is section 23 for PL please
https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/dreamredchamber2_23_cao_128kb.mp3 [29:09]

notes:
- @14:30, after checking the Chinese version, it seems that Cui was referring to another person called "葵官(Kuí guān)", and not "寶官(Pao Kuan)";
- @16:18, again according to the original, Cui was referring to "藥官(Yào guān)", instead of "寶官(Pao Kuan)";
- @28:34, it seems that a "you" inserted before "do often allude to me" would make the sense of the sentence more clear.

Also, I would like to claim sections 24 and 25,
Thanks

David, I'm not happy about these two changes...

We read our books as they were written, warts and all. We get a surprising number of people who read along with our recordings who may get confused if there's a completely different name showing up here. Also as this is a group recording, you cannot expect that the other readers are capable of checking the original Chinese.

If these are recurring names in other chapters, I'd rather have them consistent with the text. Are they?
