Thanks again for this section! It's PL OK.

So much drama in this chapter!

Hi there, I can take sections 16 and 17 if you'd like?
Thanks, Gini

Thank you for section 36! It sounds great, as always. I have just a few notes:

- At 2:18, "a connected narrative," I hear "a connective narrative."
- At 6:20, "clergy of the province," the volume dips briefly during "province."
- At 6:33, "a very few days," you say "a few days." (It's a minor difference, but with the stakes so high at this point of the story, I feel like the "very" is important.)
- At 15:48, "rendered me a service," you say "rendered me a fair service."
- At 16:35, "without feeling," you say "without a feeling."

Thank you for section 16! It's PL OK.

I love how much Bernard cries.

I haven't heard from the reader of sections 26 and 27 in two months about the PL notes for those files, and I haven't gotten a reply to my PM, so those sections available for claiming again. Any takers?

[knotyouraveragejo]

Hi Scarbo,

Before you reassign these, is it possible to fix the original files? If it's just editing that doesn't require rereading, it's preferable if possible to keep the original files. I can take a look at the edits and see if that is okay with you.

[Scarbo]

Hi Jo, I was hoping I could use the original files, but there are a number of notes that require rereading. I'd be happy to give the reader some more time, but she hasn't been active in two months, so I'm not sure when I'll hear from her.

[knotyouraveragejo]

They may not require rereading. Let me see what I can do with these. If you are not happy with the results you don't have to use them...

[knotyouraveragejo]

Thank you for section 26! It sounds great. I have just a few notes:

- At 2:55, "and bearing, and conversation," you say "and bearing the conversation."
- At 16:25, "the shores of the States," you say "the shores of a state."
- At 16:29, "to take his big hat," you say "to make his big hat."
- At 22:51, "Then I sailed with the worthy Marcasse," you say "Then I sailed from the worthy Marcasse."
- At 23:15, "At last, after a final storm," you say "At last a final storm."
- The volume level is 85.5 dB. Could you amplify it to somewhere within the target range of 87-92?

Give this a spot check and see what you think -

Thanks again for this section! It sounds great. I have some notes, mostly about word changes and repeats. Please don't be discouraged by the notes - many of these are just repeats that can easily be trimmed out. You might already know this, but just in case, I want to mention that while you're editing out the repeats, it's a good idea to start at the end of the recording and work towards the beginning. That way the time stamps stay accurate.

- Could you change the filename to mauprat_27_sand_128kb.mp3?
- At 47, there's a repeat of "As soon as."
- At 1:06, "an almost stern expression," you say "an almost stern impression."
- At 1:15, "was betraying unexpected emotion," you say "was betrayed unexpected emotion."
- At 2:16, there's a repeat of "It had undergone."
- At 6:24, "no more able than Blaireau," you say "no more than Blaireau."
- At 6:51, "He would not or could not," you say "He could not or could not."
- At 6:57, there's a repeat of "after burning with unsurpassable moral."
- At 7:50, there's a repeat of "The same appearance."
- At 11:15, "and would die," you say "and would dire."
- At 12:05, you start to say "no-" before correcting it to "doing nothing."
- At 12:25, "pitied than the labourer," you say "pitied the labourer."
- At 14:32, there's a repeat of "and when for the first time."
- At 16:08, you start to say "and he was" before correcting it to "and as he was."
- At 17:16, there's a repeat of "And so I have various friends."
- At 17:37, there's a repeat of "With all this."
- At 18:17, "indicated a compromise," you say "indicate a comprise."
- At 19:09, "which had been entrusted to me," you say "which had entrusted to me."
- At 20:34, "polite to the village elders," you say "polite in the village elders."
- At 20:38, "so that I may make them," you say "so that I may take them."
- At 21:55, there's a repeat of "then I."
- The volume at 92.5 dB is just slightly over the target range. Could you lower it to somewhere between 87 and 92 dB?

And here is an edited version of section 27 for spot PL/your approval -

[Scarbo]

Wow, so many of these edits are seamless! I really appreciate the work you've put into these. I think I'll be able to use 26 and possibly both. I'll take a closer look at them later today.

Here is section 17 (chapter 10 part 3)- length - 17:25.47

https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/mauprat_17_sand_128kb.mp3

Just wanted to let you know that at minute 3:43 the script says "now and them" but I'm assuming it's meant to be "now and then" which is how I said it but if you'd like me to change it just let me know.
Thanks, Gini
