For Love and Life Vol. 1, by Margaret O. Oliphant (1828 - 1897)

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/for-love-and-life-vol-1-by-margaret-o-oliphant/
“The device on his shield was a young oak tree pulled up by the roots, with the Spanish word Desdichado, signifying Disinherited.” The novel opens with Mrs. Murray walking with two of her grandchildren along the banks of Loch Arroch in the Scottish border country. They appear to be well-to-do and distinguished, but all is not well within the family and sacrifices are necessary. (Summary by Lynne Thompson)

Hi and welcome to Librivox!
There are a few things to do before you get started.
You will need to complete a one minute test - this is to check your specs are up to Librivox standards, and if not, you'll be given hints on how to remedy that. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test
Please post your test in the Listeners Wanted forum (see the dropdown at the bottom of the page) for the speediest response. Waiting for the OK may seem tedious, but can save time in the long run. Please keep in touch if there is a problem.
You will also need to be added to the catalog of readers. I will add you using your forum name, but if you prefer your real name or a pseudonym let me know. We can also link to a personal blog or website. If you click on your name in the Magic Window, you will be taken to your catalog page.Be sure to read the first post - all the info you need is there, but if anything doesn't make sense, just ask. The wiki (see the top of the page) has bundles of info too.

Hi, I’d like to claim section 2. I’m trying to learn how to do a Scottish accent so I’ll use this as practice :)

Thank you. How long is it please? Also, although there is no need to reupload for the file name, please note we need the leading zero (_05_).

It is 26 mins 45 seconds, should I reupload with the renamed title?

Thank you. No need to reupload at this point, but if you have edits, use the corrected file name please.
