Sure thing! Thanks!
Hi, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to read sections 17 and 18. However, now that I'm reading them out loud, I am really struggling with the pace and structure of the sentences and where to take a breath. So, would you please excuse me from this assignment so that someone else can take this on? For future projects, I'll try reading out loud before asking! Thank you for understanding!

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Henry James is definitely one of the more difficult-to-read authors I've recorded along with Nathaniel Hawthorne (both are fond of ornate prose and long sentences).

I haven't changed the status in the MW because the file hasn't been slotted in yet.
Oops, I think when you reviewed before I had a chance to slot in the MW, I lost track of it. Should be in there now and marked as PL OK.
Thanks! It wasn't a reminder; just in case it looked odd. I'll try to not be so keen in future. :P

My fault for being vague. When I said "My posting of October 2 at 12;20 PM", this was concerning Section 12. I' ve done all the corrections asked for, and am awaiting further instructions.

PL for Section 12:

You now have 19 seconds of silence at the start
11:07 loud bump/smack at “more” in “she should do much more”.
31:52 phrase is fine now , but you repeat the word “meaning”
32:39 at the end you repeat “lost in the vastness of his meaning” (very quietly)
Missing “End of Section 12” and the 5s silence.

Nearly there!

Section 12 PL:
Almost! Just the silence at the end now. It should be 5 seconds. You have about 3 at the moment, and quite fuzzy. Can you de-amplify and add 2 seconds?
