Old R.F.D. awaits P.L. in the M.W. He is a very patient old man....

Thanks, Todd

Mrs. T.R. Jeffs awaits PL for Act 1 and she is not the least bit patient. If she doesn't get promptly PLed, she will call the Congressman, the Postmaster General, the President!

Alright. Did I make you wait? Oh dear! Well, I'm sure that the President would want me to personally let you know that your reading was PL OK.

Thanks, Todd

Well... humpf. Finally someone is treating me with the respect I deserve. You, sir, are a gentleman, and I thank you.

Just a few tiny notes on Act 1:

1:04
Missing word: "me" -- the line reads: "Now gimme a hist with these packages." (p. 15)
I hear "Now give a hist with these packages."

4:38
The line is "I snum" - I hear "I some" -- though I snum I wouldn't a'known what that word meant had I not looked it up...

snum: vow, declare —used in the phrase I snum
(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/snum)

and in the same line you say "cats" instead of "children":
I snum, even the dogs and little children all know the old man. (p. 16-17)

6:07
This time "snum" sounds like "sun" in the line: "She stood there talking to me and, I snum, if old Bess didn't come right up and eat two-three carrots right out'n the basket, right under the Widder's nose, as you might say." (p. 17)

6:26
I don't know if you want to add this, but towards the end of the page, right before Reynolds enters, Steve and R.F.D. laugh:
(Steve and R. F. D. laugh.) (p. 18)

Very nice acting, Todd. You had me sobbing there for a minute... (and you sure do say the word "old" a lot!).

Listening to your recording, Todd, I realized that I didn't read my character description. (I don't think anyone else did either). Should I?

Thank you. I made the changes you suggested for 1:04, 4:38 (both), and 6:07. Snum was something new ta me; I'm old but not old enuf that snum was in my vocabulary....

I did not do the stage direction laugh. If it had been a stage direction for my line, I'da dun it so the stage direction could be replaced/removed, but here I think you'd need the direction anyway since neither Steve nor RFD have spoke recently.

If you were sobbing for old RFD in Act 1, wait until Acts 2 and 3.....

I am uncertain at this point about including the character descriptions. I think they will help our listeners, but there are some spoilers therein. If people record it, I can decide later....


Thanks, Todd

May I do stage direction for this?

I read the "Characters" (adding "read by") leaving space for their names. As per notes, I also included the "Costumes and Characteristics" page, but as a single thread. Let me know if this was your vision.

[ToddHW]

Thank you. That sounds like what I will want; I'll know when I have enough pats to start editing.

Thanks, Todd
