Yes, you can have Ragueneau. He's not a cutpurse -- he's a baker, patron of the arts, and one of Cyrano's close friends. You were misreading the cast list -- the listings in the second column aren't the descriptions of the first column characters, but even more characters. It's a cast of thousands.

Hi Mike!

I think I'm coming up on the 2 month mark of claiming Roxane. May I ask for a short extension?

Don't worry about it. I knew from the start that this project would take a very long time to complete -- most parts aren't even claimed yet -- so you won't be holding things up if you need extra time. Besides, I'm sure your interpretation of Roxane will be worth waiting for.

I've read bit parts in acts 2 and 5 already, but may I also claim the First Page in Act 1, the First Page in Act 3, and the Sentry on the Parapet in Act 4?
Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.

Absolutely -- wonderful that you're taking on five different roles in five different acts!

And here are my remaining bit parts.
1st Page, act 1, 4:30
https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/cyranodebergerac_1stpage_1.mp3
1st Page, act 3, 0:39
https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/cyranodebergerac_1stpage_3.mp3
Sentry on Parapet, act 4, 0:28
https://librivox.org/uploads/mightyfelix/cyranodebergerac_sentryonparapet_4.mp3

In my Page parts I've taken the liberty of singing very badly, which is a rather fun thing to do. Let me know if either chanting without melody or actual tuneful singing would be preferable and I'll re-record accordingly (to the best of my ability, in the case of tunefulness).

Thanks, Joanna. Your "singing" will work just fine.
