Here are Acts 1-3 of Miranda:

thank you, Jenn, and Miranda is so lovely and jolly (and so manipulating and flirty ) Poor Guardy doesn't stand a chance against her schemes. I highly enjoyed the performance. Already looking forward to the rest.

Acts 1 and 3 already PL ok.

for Act 2:

> at about 3:07: please insert: "The best assurance I ever saw"

Sir Jealous act 5
https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/busiebody_sirjealoustraffick_5.mp3

aha this is action packed. I love the struggle with which you try to prevent the wedding oh and the Spanish sounds great. In the end Sir Jealous is quite quickly satisfied and easy with the situation again, didn't expect that.

Only one small correction and one optional one:

> at 5:32: "Jewels of the Value of 3000 l." – I hear you say "libra", you could just as well have said the English word "pound", it's the same abbreviation, but both are correct I guess. I just never heard anybody say "libra" before in a play

> at 11:00: "and chouse me of my child" – you say "choose" but this is the old word for "cheat" and should rhyme on "house", to make the meaning clearer: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chouse#Etymology_1

thanks

Hi Sonia
On the first point I intended to say livres as this seemed the most likely monetary unit meant. I think it was used in other countries (France?) for the English pound.
I should have looked up chouse as choose made no sense in context anyway. I will correct it.

yes indeed, "livre" is the French word for "pound" so it's perfectly acceptable. That's why I said it's optional.
