Goldie act 2 revised

https://librivox.org/uploads/toddhw/civilservice_goldiewex_2.mp3

I have left batter as it is deemed ok.
I am puzzled about at half mast as I can hear both words :hmm:
IRL I would never say darned but I use the alternative all the time :lol:

Just to stick my nose in here, I also heard both words. :D

Edit: I listened to it again and I think I might have figured it out. With all due respect, Adrian, the English sometimes don't put the "t" at the end of certain words in certain situations. And I think that in the phrase "at half" would be a good possibility for that. It is just kind of sort of a 'guteral' stop with out making the "t" clear. So when he is doing a "rural" (how ever you pronounce it :wink: ) accent, that came through. Just a thought.

Far be it for me to criticize anyone's dialect... sorry Alan! :lol: Mea culpa, I just thought a word had been left out. I heard (and still hear) no "t" at the end of "at" and no "h" at the beginning of "half" -- sort of "aa-(guteral stop)-aaf" -- but Wayne's explanation clarified it for me. And I'll definitely take your word for it, Alan, if you say it's all there, then I believe you! :D

Please, nobody throw tomatoes at me... I'm just a rur-ral girl from Indiana... :lol:

Goldie Act 2 is now PL OK and family friendly!

Thanks for the PL, TJ. Don't take it to heart :D
I agree with Wayne about the English tendency to swallow the t and I also think that Goldie would drop the h from half.
It's probably due to my trying to do an American accent but combining it with my original natural English west-country dialect. :lol:

And I thought all I had to worry about was the presence or absence of R's to distinguish British from American English....

I see I'm getting close to the deadline, I may need an extra week or two for my role if that's okay with you. Thanks!
Cheers, Ava.

lol! Well, I keep choosing bossy, busy-body, self-important know-it-alls... I can't help wondering what that says about my personality. :lol:

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! :D

A happy ending?
Definitely! Even Mrs. Jeffs turns out to be all right in the end. And sweet little Goldie goes back to the farm. All's well that ends well...
