Hello, may I read Chapter 3?
Thanks - Gini

Sure thing, thank you for claiming!
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Hello again, can I just confirm what section 3 consists of? There is the opening chapter, after the preface, entitled simply 'Mauprat' beginning 'On the borders of La Manche...' and ending '...'then he began his narrative in these words.', followed by the chapter headed 1, which begins 'You live not very far from Roche-Mauprat...' and ending 'to keep at a respectful distance the military force of the district.'
I assume section 3 is both these chapters?
Thanks in advance for clarifying!
Yes, it includes both the opening chapter and chapter 1. I should have made that clearer in the MW. Thanks for checking on that!LucyK wrote: ↑May 1st, 2021, 10:57 am Hello again, can I just confirm what section 3 consists of?

Could anyone help me on some of the French pronunciation in this text?
Is Edmee pronounced 'ed-may' or 'ed-mee' ?
Is abbe pronounced 'ab-bay' or like 'abbey' ?
Also, I can't quite figure out the text's pronunciation (Mau-pray? Mau-prah?), I am quite rusty at knowing how to say things in French.
Any help appreciated thank you

Above all, trust the silences.

I've been saying "Ed-may" and "ab-bay"/"ah-bay." I'm pretty sure that Mauprat is "Mo-prah," but you might want to check with a native speaker in the Pronunciation help thread since occasionally French proper nouns can have a slightly different pronunciation from what's expected.jadeleahpilling wrote: ↑May 2nd, 2021, 5:28 am Could anyone help me on some of the French pronunciation in this text?

Either way, as long as listeners can tell that a word or name refers to the same concept or character from chapter to chapter, I'm not too worried about exact pronunciation.
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Hi there, so I'm reading chapter 3...I was wondering if I could ask a question...in the 4th sentence of the 5th paragraph there are two hyphens (?) and it seems like something should be said there but I'm not sure what. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Gini
Usually when the author leaves a location or name blank, I hear the reader say "blank." "The Carmelite's school at blank" would be fine here. Thanks for checking on that, and feel free to ask whenever you have questions!Theginmann wrote: ↑May 3rd, 2021, 7:34 pm Hi there, so I'm reading chapter 3...I was wondering if I could ask a question...in the 4th sentence of the 5th paragraph there are two hyphens (?) and it seems like something should be said there but I'm not sure what.

- At 3:35, "decrying the vain pleasures," you say "decreeing the vain pleasures."
- At 11:35, "bread had seemed to him a superfluity," you say "bread had not seemed to him a superfluity."
