Author: M. R. James
Title: "The Mezzotint"
Duration: 33:12

Note 1: I uploaded it twice because of a glitch the first time. The second upload is correct.

Note 2: At 4:16 and 6:58, I say "two guineas." The text shows something like "?2 2s" -- the symbols for two pounds, two shillings. In old English money, one pound + one shilling = one guinea. I have listened to a couple other recordings of this story, and the narrator says "two guineas" each time. So I said that also.

I hope it's OK...LJB
PL:OK :clap:

I have been having a lot of trouble trying to get ReplayGain onto the Audacity (sub)menu. :roll:
Still mired in the HELP forum about this... but meanwhile, we mickey-mouse our way onward.

Story is from 1934 so it can't be used for Librivox - it has to be published before 1924. The wiki says that it's public domain but... Maybe Rapunzelina knows better than me ;-)

Hello and welcome to Librivox!
Gavenport is right. We can't use a post-1923 text, unless it's marked public domain on gutenberg.org because they have a legal team that checks PD status.

The file is 10 minutes, 45 seconds.
Listing me as "Caesura" in the Librivox catalogue is fine with me; let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks!
Sam
PL:OK :clap:

There is a click at 1:44.66 - if you want to cut it... If you do this and upload again consider the new running-time, please.
