Please see below for a few takes of the line 'deranged by grief'! This has been a fun project and I can't wait to hear the final product!

Let me know if you need anything else! I'm having fun playing a small role in this project!
Hi Kyle,

I just can't get enough of your wonderful voice. I have one more tiny request for my expert in all things law enforcement... this time it's the coroner (I think), but the line is:

‘deranged by grief’

It's the first line on page 2 of Chapter 9:
So Wilson was reduced to a man ‘deranged by grief’ in order that the case might remain in its simplest form. And it rested there. You could just post it as a separate file, since I've already edited your other line into the main file. (I hope you're not regretting having told me, "Let me know if you need anything else!" hee hee).

Thanks,
TJ

It wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm afraid your pronunciation sounds like "Mayor" -- that might confuse people into thinking he's a politician (and Gatsby does rub elbows with politicians, so it wouldn't be a stretch).

4:06 "Don't hurry, Meyer,"

4:25 "Meyer Wolfshiem? No he's a gambler."

Thanks,
TJ
Hi TJ,

I've made the requested pronunciation corrections for Chapter 4:

Perfect! Thanks so much, Tomas! Chapter 4 is now PL OK! Chapter 6 is PL OK as well!

Tomas, I have one small note for Gatsby, Chapter 7:

0:28 Missing Line (p. 7):
GATSBY: ‘They certainly look cool,’

Thanks,
TJ

It's fine. I was preoccupied with getting The Story Girl finished and I am now back to editing Gatsby together. No stress, then. :D
