That's the last 'quick' one to edit. Glenn leaves Monday so the next one probably won't be up until after that. I'll post for a PLer for final sections once I get on a role.

Spot PL ok

It's been a busy week of editing in order to get caught up but your chapters are next. Thank you for the voice credit, I've added it to the DP.

I'll PL your lines as I edit.

EDIT: Chapter 20 is PL OK. There were a couple of repeats but I was able to edit them. You left me great room for editing in other lines. Thank you!

Volume is really low on chapter 21. I can fix it though. I'm aiming for 89-90dB.

Well, Chapter 31 was quite a challenge, seeing as I had to sing in 3 different languages and then die a painful death...

But here you go:

Thank you for the feedback

I've got 2 more sections in a rough state. I'll be editing them tomorrow, I think.
Also, can you write a new post next time, instead of editing the old one? I'm more likely to notice

Thank you, TJ! I probably won't be able to PL for you until Tuesday. My husband leaves for Iraq on Monday so things might get a little busy around here between now and then.

Thanks, Linny. Take your time -- absolutely no hurry on my side (as you know, I sure did take my time...

).

Wonderful job!

All sections are PL OK. I'll let you know if something shows up during editing.

Here's another one:
https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/crimeandpunishment_narrator_22.mp3

There's a fragment at 3:50 mark where I took the liberty of adding to the original text, which, to my non-native eye, seems defective. The script and the original text at PG and IE both read:

Pyotr Petrovitch belonged to that class of persons, on the surface very polite in society, who make a great point of punctiliousness, but who, directly they are crossed in anything, are completely disconcerted, and become more like sacks of flour than elegant and lively men of society.

It seemed to me that it should have read "when they are directly crossed".

Tell me what you think.

Piotrek,

In the original text that sentence reads:

Петр Петрович принадлежал к разряду людей, по-видимому чрезвычайно любезных в обществе и особенно претендующих на любезность, но которые, чуть что не по них, тотчас же и теряют все свои средства и становятся похожими скорее на мешки с мукой, чем на развязных и оживляющих общество кавалеров.

The phrase "чуть что не по них" has the meaning "as soon as something is not them" (translated rather frivolously, pulling on the idiom "it's you" when talking of clothes or behavior). So, "directly crossed" is incorrect. In the emphasized (in your quote) passage, "directly" means "as soon as", "immediately upon", etc.

Thanks for the insight

So what is opinion of this fragment? Should I keep it as it was written?
