I'm sorry, Twinkle, my mom insisted on embellishing the hiss with a meow as well :roll: hopefully that was okay.

PL notes for Narrator Ch 3:


@ 13:32 Longer pause needed: "... separating into buttermilk and tiny golden particles. [Insert 3-5 second pause here] said Aunt Abigail, screwing the lid back on."

@ 12:17 Missing words: "...red glow somewhere connected with the familiar scene at which she had so often looked with unseeing eyes."

@ 12:09 Longer pause needed: "The little girl looked blank. [Insert 3-5 second pause here] she faltered, searching her memory..."

@ 9:49 Misread line: "...there had been two sets for that one room. She was relieved at the absence of a piano and secretly rejoiced that she would not need to practice. In her heart she had not liked..."

@ 9:39 Misread line: "...with funny old pictures at the top; there wasn't a brass bed in any of the bedrooms, just old wooden ones with posts, and curtains round the tops..."

@ 7:22 Repeat: "...bright eyes and red cheeks. Besides this feeling, Elizabeth Ann was overcome..."

@ 6:42 Line needs to be re-recorded with a 3-5 second pause in place of words: It was one of the 'queer Putney ways' which Aunt Harriet had forgotten to mention."

@ 6:27 Line needs to be re-recorded with a 3-5 second pause in place of word: "to feel that it belonged in the same class of remarks as one or two others she had noted as 'queer' in the talk at Putney Farm last night."

@ 4:32 Words cut off: "...that took the place of a window-sill. The shelf was covered with shining white oil-cloth..."

@ 3:28 Missing line: "I've taken more than my share!" she said apologetically. Cousin Ann looked up from her..."

@ 0:13 Missing line: "For more information or to volunteer, please visit librivox.org. Understood Betsy, by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. Chapter 3: A Short Morning."

@ 0:02 Extra words need to be removed: "Chapter 3 of Understood Betsy, by Dorothy Canfield Fisher. This is a LibriVox recording."



Maybe you already are, but just a reminder that you should be reading from the color-coded scripts -- otherwise you could miss little words here are there that are designated for other readers. Let me know if these scripts aren't working for you, etc. (Or perhaps you recorded this chapter before I mentioned reading only from the scripts previously.)

Great reading! :clap: I enjoyed it!

PL notes for Narrator Ch 4:


@ 12:48 Misread words: "...and all the children, even the littlest ones, opened their mouths wide and sang lustily. End of Chapter 4."

@ 4:22 Misread words: "...crunching loudly under his strong, white teeth. How he did enjoy it! It did your heart good to see his gusto! There was the sound of the telephone..."

@ 0:00 Intro is incorrect. Please read it word-for-word the script.
