I'll take section 7 & 8 as well.
Traveling and unexpected family death, but having time on my visit to catch up.
Here are just a few minor notes on these sections that could use some attention, but overall your reading is excellent and I commend you for what you've been able to do with these.
Section 3: 8:13 a noise, possibly a dog, but almost wiping our your voice. I'm afraid this will need to be recorded over. Just do the natural phrase rather than just two words in order to make it smoother.
22: 29 The correct pronunciation of "Dartmouth" is "Dart-muth" It's a British thing, but is the same here in New England where I live. Same for places like "Portsmouth" = Ports-muth. Normally we don't comment on pronunciations but this is so well-known, it stands out, and since you're doing a correction anyway, it would be good to take care of this one too.
Section 4: 10:21 "I now might be as abandoned . . ." The first two words are clipped and not clear at all. I don't know if this happened in editing, or what, but it is noticeable enough that I think it would be better to record this phrase again.
Section 5: 7:34 " a draught of cold water" the correct pronunciation of "draught" is "draft" I mention this because the meaning changes. The way I heard it was "drought," which is an extreme lack of water, as in what California has right now.
Also, to note, all of these recordings are somewhat low in volume, just above our lower limit of 86 dB, so you might as well amplify each of them by about 2 dB to get them close to our target of 89 dB.
Upload your corrected files under the same file name, post the links here again with the new file lengths so I can spot check them.
I'm really looking forward to listening to your other sections.
