I would like to read sections 13 and 14.

Section 28 PL OK!

Section 12 PL OK, but one word on pronunciation for future recordings:

4:47, 7:22 - "They were a legitimate perquisite" / "I do not refer to perquisites" - this is PER-qui-zit, not pre-REQ-ui-zit.

Perquisite: an expected benefit from a job (such as a maid receiving the lady's cast off clothing).
Prerequisite: a required course or condition to be met before advancing on to the next thing.

Often referred to these days as a "perq" or "perk"

Hi Tricia, Thanks for finding this. I fixed the both mispronunciations and can upload the new file if you wish. The funny thing is that before I did the reading, perquisite is one of the words I looked up to ensure that I knew the proper pronunciation. Then when I did the reading, I completely misread it.

Sure - if you've corrected it, go ahead and upload it.

Hi Tricia,
Please PL my reading https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/yellowclaw_XI_rohmer_128kb.mp3

Thanks! The text reading itself is OK; there are just two minor things to fix:

- About 2 seconds of silence at start; should only be between 0.5-1 second.

- Please name the file with Arabic numerals: yellowclaw_11_rohmer_128kb

May I read Sections 15: XV. Cave of the Golden Dragon, and 27: XXVII. Grove of a Million Apes? They sound like exciting places to visit!

Thanks, Todd

Chapter 32 PL OK! I forgot to post that yesterday.

15 and 27 are yours, Todd. Thanks!
