Chapter 11:

0:00 - Intro cut off. :) I hear "ter 11 of Leonora..."

2:09 - "Creditors breathed with relief" - "Creditors" is cut off. (At least, I think it's supposed to be "creditors".)

19:29 - beginning of sentence cut off: "..so at first."

20:05 to end: about 5 dB louder than the rest of the recording. The transition at 20:05 was a bit jarring. I suggest de-amplifying this portion by 5 to even it out.

30:05 - at the very, very end of the end silence, there's a sniff. :)

On the positive side, I think the sound quality on this one is much better. There weren't any spots where the sound faded out such that it was hard to understand. Whatever you did, keep doing it. 8-)

Here's Chapter 11 corrected:

I have left libraryanne as the DPL. I didn't think you'd mind, Tricia. But if you want me to change it, let me know.

Simon,

There are no titles in the MW. I need something in those fields.

And keywords? The database just has "to follow" in the keywords section. Do you want me to add any?

I have updated the database with your summary.

If you want, Simon, I can put in the chapter titles for you (if you don't want to take the time).

Bev - no problem on leaving her as DPL. :)

Tricia -

Thanks for this. I don't seem to be able to get in to put in the Chapter numbers - I'm sorry I left these out - don't know what happened here. So please can you do this for me? (Simply Chapter numbers 1 to 12).

Many thanks -

Simon

Both good - 'Five Towns' for those who know Bennett. 'Unhappy marriage' a good two word summary! I've put all three in, anyway.

Many thanks - :)

Keywords added. Cataloguing in process.

(It was my fault you couldn't get in to the MW Simon. I had left the status as "Validation". Tricia could do it because she's admin.)

Many thanks, Bev.

This one was a bit of a struggle because of my problems with laptop and microphone but all's well that ends well! :lol:
