Ooops I just noticed the Servant and Doublefee are in the same act. I can take Doublefee if you wish as his lines are the more complex.

May I read Bounce?
Also there is a Servant part in Act 3, where Bounce is absent. Would you allow me to read that in a different voice?

Yes, thank you, Adrian

Hi. As I'm finally getting around to recording the role of the Countess, I noticed a line that I think is misnamed.

Toward the bottom of page 40 in Act II, I believe this line actually belongs to the Count:

Countess. (After standing fixed some time, and first looking at Susan and then at the Countess) Here’s a seminary!—And can you act astonishment too, Madam? (Observing the Countess, who cannot totally hide her surprise.).

I am happy to record it, if you'd like, but I really think it's mislabeled.

Thoughts?
Wendy

I think you are absolutely correct. Not sure if the mislabel was in the original, or happened during the Gutenberg process, but it's something we should tell their errata division about.

So, will the Count record it, or should I?

We'll make this a Count line.

Update on the Count line that is incorrectly assigned in the play to the Countess:

It is clearly a mistake, so we are going to have the Count speak the line.

It is a mistake in the original, not in PG's transcription to ebook, so I am not sending them an errata report, after all.

The Count has returned ... to get the last word

I hope it is correct, and sufficient.

Ha! Yes, indeed, he got the last word there!

Thanks for being so quick with it, Jake - and perfect, btw

Hi, Adrian!

Excellent role files, thanks!

Bounce, Act 5 does need one more Omnes line inserted: around 0:17, we should have:

Omnes. "Pardon, pardon, gracious Lord!"
