Hi Carolin,

I'm about to get stuck into Section 20 - "Written Sketches, part 1". Section 21 is "Written Sketches, part 2".

Section 20 has 7,600 words. However the total word count of the two Sections (20 and 21) that make up "XVI, Written Sketches" is 7,600.

Could you please split the 7,600 words of Section 20 in half and allot the second half to Section 21 and leave it "Open"?

Best,

Barbara

Hi barbara, i had decided in this project to leave it up to the reader where to split a section, hence the word count only for the entire section. I see now that i didnt end up posting about that again. I dont have access to word at the moment but ill post divisions later today. Thank you!

A Painter's View on Painting

part 1
please read until
For if a picture is to be pleasing in colour, pleasing colours must be put upon the canvas, and reasons have got to be found for putting them there. [1886.]
P.S.—The foregoing note wants a great deal of reconsideration for which I cannot find time just now. Jan. 31, 1898.

part 2
please start at
Words and Colour
A man cannot be a great colourist unless he is a great deal more. A great colourist is no better than a great wordist unless the colour is well applied to a subject which at any rate is not repellent.

Written Sketches

part 1
please read until
Omne ignotum pro magnifico holds with painters perhaps more than elsewhere; we never see a man sketching, or even carrying a paint-box, without rushing to the conclusion that he can paint very well. There is no cheaper way of getting a reputation than that of going about with easel, paint-box, etc., provided one can ensure one’s work not being seen. And the more traps one carries the cleverer people think one.

part 2
please start at
Mrs. Hicks
She and her husband, an old army sergeant who was all through the Indian Mutiny, are two very remarkable people; they keep a public-house where we often get our beer when out for our Sunday walk.

Material for a Projected Sequel to Alps and Sanctuaries

part 1
please read until
He smiled and offered me a pinch of the most delicious snuff. His wife came and cleared the table, having done which she shed the water bottle over the floor to keep the dust down. I am sure she did it all to all the blessed gods that live in heaven, though she did not say so.

part 2
please start at
The Imperfect Lady
There was one at a country house in Sicily where I was staying. She had been lent to my host for change of air by his friend the marchese. She dined at table with us and we all liked her very much.

I liked the remark Charles Darwin overheard at the zoo.

Hi Carla,

Sections 20 & 21 have a similar issue.

The information in [brackets] was interpreted as footnotes, which is perfectly acceptable, although I feel they were meant to be more parenthetical notes than footnotes. Since they were interpreted as footnotes, they then need an "end footnote" to close them off.

In Section 20, it occurs at 4:20, 6:04, 6:44, 6:52, 9:50, 15:29 and 17:07.
In Section 21, it's at 5:51, 16:49, 26:45, and 27:50.

Thanks MrsH, yours is a more sensible way of handling the editor's notes. I've deleted the word "footnotes" from Section 20 and the length of the file is now:
