One little note:
2:34
This is all part of the narrator’s part, but there is an awkward connection between“…another” and “part…” – Maybe if you faded in to “part” it would flow more smoothly.

“Domestic mails are those that carry letters from one part of a country to another part of the same country, or from one part of a city to another.”

I fiddled with this a bit, but I don't know if it made an appreciable difference.

Part 1 Chapters 7-8 is PL OK! Nice work!

(2:40, for my own reference. )

EDIT: I finished editing on that section anyway and uploaded it with the switched word in it, just in case of any unusual eventuality.

No worries - I've uploaded the corrected sentence here:

Thanks, Rafe, this is perfect! I've incorporated that into the completed section.

(TJ, when you PL, if you just use the section number in your posts, instead of Part/Chapter, it would make it a little easier on me.

)

Section 5 is PL OK!

Nice work!

Sounds good!

Not necessary. Thanks!

Section 3 is PL OK!

Well, it's obvious by now that I overestimated my own capability when I said I planned to do a section a day. Or I underestimated how worn out I would be when I got home from work each day. Still, section 11 is now ready for PL, and that leaves only 5 sections to go. I think it's reasonable to say we should be able to finish up in about a week.

Have you and Jasmin had a chance to try to get that missing line for the seagull yet?

Hi,

I saw the orphaned lines for the seagull on the "orphans" forum and have given it my best shot. Here it is.

I see now that someone else may have put up their hand to do it so please discard this if it is no longer required.

Kind regards,
Madeleine

Well, I underestimated how quickly you would pound these out

and how long it would take for me to PL when I volunteered, so I'm a bit behind...

She's had quite a busy week, but we both will have more time early this coming week.

Section 12 is ready!

Thank you so much!

Yes, there is another reader who is planning to give it a shot, but I so appreciate your help! If she doesn't have a chance to get to it, it is great to already have the line needed. And now she doesn't need to feel any pressure, either, if she changes her mind.

Section 13 is uploading as we speak!

Only 3 to go.

Section 7 (Part 2 Chapters 5-7)

One small note:

At 21:51 the line reads "The man's a fake." Somehow the the final "k" sound in "fake" got cut off (maybe during editing?). This could be confusing because it sounds like the man is a "fay"

. This could easily be repaired by adding a "k" sound to the end of the word (it doesn't even have to be the original reader -- my experience when editing has shown is that everyone's "k" sound sounds pretty much the same

).

Otherwise, Section 7 is PL OK!

Nicely done!

Nicely done!
