I tried an Italian accent since Abbe Faria is Italian... If it's not good enough, I will rerecord this chapter and do all subsequent recordings sans-accent. Anyway, here's the trial:

PL Notes Bertuccio

Chapter 43, 44, 54, 62, 68, 82, 91, 92, 107 and 110 are PL OK:)

Chapter 45
06:20 - You said " as his head was buried beneath his two hands", the line is "as his head was buried between his two hands"
09:20 - You said "hastily tied up a small bundle of them", the line is "hastily tied up a small bundle of linen"
16:47 - long pause in the middle of a line
23:45 - You said " as I reflect that possibility I am now standing on", the line is " as I reflect that possibly I am now standing on "

PL Notes Abbe Faria chapter 14

First off, great reading and great accent!

00:58 - You said "and as the emperor has created the kingdom of Rome for his infant son, I presume that he has realized the dream of Machiavelli e Caesar Borgia, ", the line is "and as the emperor had created the kingdom of Rome for his infant son, I presume that he has realized the dream of Machiavelli and Caesar Borgia, " ( the last one is mostly nit-picking)

Otherwise, it's all good:)

PL Notes Eduard de Villeford

Chapter 47, 52 and 74 are all PL OK:)

There are some background noises and such that seems ingraned in the recording, you should maybe check a bit where you record (and what you record with). Your voice almost gets this computer-y sound, which usually either has to do with the microphone or a too harsh noiseclean.

PL Notes Mercedes

Chapter 71, 85, 88 and 91 are PL OK:)

Chapter 70
00:48 - You said "Perhaps he cannot reconcile him to the French style of living", the line is "Perhaps he cannot reconcile himself to the French style of living"
01:11 - You said "Do not detain these gentlemen here, count,", the line is " "Do not detain those gentlemen here, count,"


Chapter 89
01:54 - Mis-pronounciation of "Fernand", listen here: http://uploads.librivox.org/maryannspiegel/montecristopronounce/Fernand.mp3
03:15 - You skipped a line, "Well, Edmond, I swear to you, by the head of that son for whom I entreat your pity,—Edmond, for ten years I saw every night..."
04:42 & 05:28 - There is a crash in the background


Also, I just noticed that for some reason two of the sections for Mercedes were missing in the mw, I've added them now, chapter 106 and 112
