Susan by Ernest Oldmeadow (1867 - 1949).

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/susan-by-ernest-oldmeadow/
Susan is a perfect gem of a maid until suddenly she begins to mess things ups and is so distracted that her mistress Gertrude is determined to find out what is bothering her. After much prodding Susan confesses that she has had a marriage proposal by letter from a Lord Ruddington whom she has never met. Should she accept?? Things get a little complicated as we follow this delightful story which unfolds in diary form written by Miss Gertrude. It will make you smile and sometimes laugh out loud. Enjoy! ( Celine Major)
  • Text source (only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/48418
  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Hi Dave.
I just realized that I since this book is divided into Books 1-4 instead of chapters I should probably say Book 1 - Part 1, 2 or 3 when applicable instead of chapters. Mind you it's not necessary to change it in the MW but thought I should mention it.
Is that OK?
Happy Monday!

Yes. The only other variation I can think of is to use the section numbers at the beginning of the intro and in the outro, reserving the book and part numbers for the end of the intro. I'm not a big fan of using section numbers in the intros/outros but there are times when it is easier. It is, however, your decision and what you have proposed sounds fine.
