The Little Colonel's Chum: Mary Ware by Annie Fellows Johnston (1863 - 1931).

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-little-colonels-chum-mary-ware-by-annie-fellows-johnston/
This volume is the result of an avalanche of letters that, reached the author, Annie Fellows Johnston, complaining that she skipped in the Little Colonel series. To entreaties she has responded with this charming, wholesome volume, in which she fills in the skipped places. Mary Ware is a lovable little girl, not a very little one either, because she is old enough to go to boarding-school, and her ingenuity is evidenced by her sleeping calmly under a raised umbrella because a troublesome roommate adjusted the electric light so it shone on her pillow. Likewise it proves that she is unsuperstitious. The volume as a whole is delightful, and any girl may be proud to number its heroine among her book friends. This is the ninth Volume in the "Little Colonel Series. (Summary from an original 1908 review)
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please).

    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim.

Thank you, Ruth! Very nice job ~ I enjoyed listening! :-)

There are a few minor issues. The first one is partially my fault, I should have made you aware of it before hand.

For the Preface, at that the very beginning it should say "Preface of.........etc.", not "Chapter 0".

In Chapter 1 there are two little issues:

@3:28 there is a minor repeat --- "Hawkins from his......from his"
And at the end it should say, "End of Chapter 1", not "End of Mary Enters Warwick".

If you could fix those and reupload, using the same file names, that would be great!

Whoops. I was reviewing my file and noticed I said Chapter 4 instead of Chapter 3. :oops: It is all fixed now but the duration of the file is 23:41.

Same link - https://librivox.org/uploads/m8b1/littlecolonelschum_03_johnston_128kb.mp3
