I'd forgotten that we have all the readers' parts' acknowledgments, so here's the first section, preceded by the dramatis personae:

Lovely, thank you!

Section 1 is PL OK. Awesome job, Peter!

P.S. This is the first time I PL credits, so I checked that part twice. :lol:

Hello -

I have had another go at the "James" part here: https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/noncanonical_james_22_128kb_2.mp3

Time 16m:20s

Hope it sounds ok. Thanks!

Thank you, Noel. That's a long part!

With respect to the sound, ~04:49 the volume drops noticeably starting at "I was a fellow traveller" and stays that way for the rest of the recording. Also, the sound is a bit less clear from that point on.

~03:13 missing words: The text goes "...a solemn promise that he would see Sparrow MacCoy no more, that he would go to Europe..." I hear "...a solemn promise that he would go to Europe..."

~08:07 The text says "... and there were MacCoy and my brother..." I hear " and there was MacCoy and my brother..."

~09:01 missing word: The text says "MacCoy was of course expecting me" I cannot hear the word "me" at the end.

Thank you very much again.

I re-recorded the part you mentioned. Hopefully this version sounds better. Thanks
