The Torture of Hope

Please correct the intro... you have things in the wrong order 8-) "Title of Work], by [Author Name]. - This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org"

Please be careful with file names. The correct format is always in the first post. sms011_shorttitleinoneword_readersinitials_128kb.mp3
We don't want it to start with 'the' or 'a' or similar, and there should be no capitals or underscores.

Hi Lynette,
I knew I'd show signs of rust somewhere, thank you for your patience. As always, rescue came in the form of one of Phil Chenevert's videos.

8-) I learned all I know from dear Phil.
Just so you know, in collections, section numbers are redundant 8-)
