wow this was a big role and excellently acted out, Mattea. :thumbs: Though Sheila is showing a bit of a snobbish side in her dialogues with Tilney, but she is a sensitive person nevertheless. You show both facettes very well. I highly enjoyed it and it will sound great stitched together, I'm sure.

You're not done yet, however, I found a few missed lines to insert !

Act 1:

> at about 7:38: (p. 27 and 29) two missed lines: "No, you won't, mother darling." and "Mums !"

Act 2:

> at about 8:26: (p. 142) missed line: "Goo-oo-oo-oo...!"

Act 3:

> at about 0:40: (p. 194) missed line: "Bad news of any sort ?"
> at about 3:11: (p. 199) missed line: "R-R-Raiche..."
> at 3:20: (p. 199) "Your rotten arrangement with Fumelli and...what's their beastly names ?" - you say "engagement"
> at about 4:02: (p. 214 and 215) two missed lines: "Yes, Mums." and "Oh, much better, Mumkin !"

thanks

Sonia

I agree. Even when she calls me a guttersnipe, she says it in such a nice way that I am, for a moment at least, pleased.

I realize I must be doing something right, since it seems I can even throw paperweights at people and they say "thank you" in return. :mrgreen:

Just a quick heads-up: I have my lines recorded, just need a few more days for the edits (what an accent! :shock: ) I'll try to have it all done by the weekend.

Thanks for your patience!
Cheers, Ava.

slowly working through my PL jobs....Sir Norton was second on the list :)

Oh my...this pair is so arrogant and conceited, thinking the whole world should be honoured if they get one of their throw-away trinkets :lol: I think on stage they must have been a hoot. (we love to hate them)

Excellently done, Alan, I really enjoyed it. Needed a bit of comedy to cheer me up a bit.

I only found one small error, which sounds a bit odd:

> at 3:12: (p. 211) "that you have met and been spoken to" - you say "have been met"

Thanks

(enough for tonight, it was more tiring than I thought)

Sir Norton is now all PL ok :) thank you Alan. We're a lovely couple in this one, regardless what others may say (they're just jealous) :mrgreen:

thank you, Sandra :) yes, Collingridge shows her displeasure for the guests and family members equally. :mrgreen: Nicely done.

Acts 2 and 3 are straight PL ok.

One small missed bit in Act 1 though (sorry about that)

> at about 0:06: (p. 6) please insert: "Mr. Glyn."
