Yes, that's a wrap for Man 2. Great acting, great laughing! :clap:

Thanks, Diana!

Brilliantly acted, Alan! Wilson Chapters 7 and 8 are PL OK. That's a wrap for Wilson. :clap:

Thanks so much!

I did a few variations for shrill laughing and startled scolding-- the editor can choose what/how to arrange or cut those to fit with the rest
I'm so sorry, I missed a few of your lines in Chapter 2 (I gave them to Catherine by mistake):

[MRS. McKEE: LAUGHS SHRILLY]
MRS. McKEE: ‘I almost made a mistake, too,’
NICK: she declared vigorously.
MRS. McKEE: ‘I almost married a little kyke who’d been after me for years. I knew he was below me. Everybody kept saying to me: ‘Lucille, that man’s way below you!’ But if I hadn’t met Chester, he’d of got me sure.’
MYRTLE: ‘Yes, but listen,’
NICK: said Myrtle Wilson, nodding her head up and down,
MYRTLE: ‘at least you didn’t marry him.’
MRS. McKEE: ‘I know I didn’t.’

Thanks!

Once I did that this morning, I found out that Chapter 9 had a low volume. Here are both chapters again (as to have them in the same place). The volume with Chapter 9 has been fixed. ~Kim

Chapter 2 - 6:35
Chapter 9 - :32

Sorry to take so long to get to this.

Catherine Chapter 9 is PL OK!

Just some very small notes for Chapter 2.

2:19
This is just a small change, but I think it makes the sentence a bit clearer. The second correction is optional, but if you are redoing the line, I might as well mention it:

"...We had over twelve hundred dollars when we started but we got gypped out of it all in two days in the private rooms. We had an awful time getting back, I can tell you. God, how I hated that town!’
I hear "two days into" instead of "in two days in" and you leave out "how".

I'm afraid I gave you three lines on page 14 that should have gone to Mrs. McKee. I'll send her a PM. Sorry about that.

Just one more small note, on page 17, I have you and Mrs. McKee "scolding and consoling".

[CATHERINE & MRS. MCKEE: SCOLDING & CONSOLING] (p. 17)

Thanks!

here we are: https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/greatgatsby_mrsmckee_missedlines_02_128kb.mp3
my original Audacity file wasn't cooperating so I just had to do these missed lines in a new file. hopefully that doesn't confuse the editing process much.

Only the dark, dark night shows to my eyes the stars;
After the clangor of organ majestic, or chorus, or perfect band,
Silent, athwart my soul, moves the symphony true."

@ Jenn: I have three extra lines from Chapter 3 that could be either Jordan or Nick speaking, but I'd prefer to have Jordan read them, if you don't mind (pages 7 & 8 - I have updated the script):

As we entered he wheeled excitedly around and examined Jordan from head to foot.
OWL EYES: ‘What do you think?’
NICK: he demanded impetuously.
JORDAN: ‘About what?’
NICK: He waved his hand toward the book-shelves.
OWL EYES: ‘About that. As a matter of fact you needn’t bother to ascertain. I ascertained. They’re real.’
JORDAN: ‘The books?’
NICK: He nodded.

...

OWL EYES: ‘Mrs. Claud Roosevelt. Do you know her? I met her somewhere last night. I’ve been drunk for about a week now, and I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library.’
JORDAN: ‘Has it?’

Thanks!

Just a quick update:

Amid some craziness here, I finally have Tom recorded (with the correct equipment connected this time) and will have the edited chapters in soon.

Yay! Fantastic, Larry! I have 4 chapters recorded for Nick and am working on editing them. Cadastra and Tomas are also diligently working on their parts. I'm excited the see this come together!

Thanks!
