actually I think it was a typo and indeed should have been "my house was not more than two streets distant", and I don't think that sounds odd at all.

Usually we don't edit the text unless it's a real obvious typo, but it's ok, you don't need to redo this sentence, as your "few" could well have been a candid reading error and it doesn't change the meaning at all. I'll mark it PL ok.

As to the situation described in the story how gruesome ! I vividly see this corpse now before my inner eye. The story is well written, sounds almost like from a diary of a doctor. Maybe this was a real occurence.

Thank you for the narration, I enjoyed it.

Here is Section 2--almost too familiar at this point:

Ha ha, must be a regional difference, Kitty. I guess I associate that phrase with some sort of high-side estimate and 'two' just sounds so precise. Even if he had said 'a couple' or 'two or three' it would have suggested the uncertainty that the phrase implies. You're probably right though, especially as doctors tend to be more precise in their language by necessity(not more that two pills a day) and it probably carries over to their general usage of phrases. Thanks for letting it slide, too.

Hi, here is section 4 - length - 11:26.63

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/rover0124_4_various_128kb.mp3

Just wanted to see what you thought about a couple things...
1. in the 1st paragraph the word is written "satify" and I looked it up thinking it was a form of the word "sate" but alas I couldn't find it so I'm assuming it is supposed to be "satisfy" which is what I went with

2 in the last line of page 378, the word is written "stooped" but I'm thinking it is supposed to be "stopped" as that makes sense in the sentence
Just let me know if you want me to go back and change things.
Thanks, Gini

yes I agree these were ordinary typos in my opinion as well. It was good to have quietly changed them to the correct word.

A wonderful story, it moved me extremely. Also beautifully and sensitively narrated, thank you so much for that I really enjoyed it. Hoping to hear you in many more Rover stories

All PL ok

Section 1 - Manfred

I think that Manfred is Byron's finest work, which is why I particularly wanted to read this section. The essay is a very fair assessment and a much better balanced view of Byron and his work than was often true of 19thC writing when people tended to let their moral repugnance of the man distort their view of his work.

May I read section 8?

yes unfortunately bigotted world-views often taint a fair criticism of an author's work.

I have not yet read the poem, but this excerpt indeed sounds great. And I love Byron's poetry

Textually all correct, but could you maybe trim down one lengthy pause here:

> from 3:35 to 3:37: between "Shakespeare" and "when the moon" - over 2.5 seconds felt too long for me for the poem to start. I would cut it down to under 2 seconds.

thanks
