Scènes de la vie privée tome 2 - passage missing

from the help desk
I downloaded the mp3 files from:
https://librivox.org/scenes-de-la-vie-privee-tome-2-by-honore-de-balzac-1001/
If you click section 63 you will hear the same as the download.
La Comédie Humaine: 02 - Scènes de la vie privée tome 2 (3-9-42)
Section:
63 - Une fille d'Eve 5/14
This section ends with
"...comme un Alceste en agissant comme Philinte."
(There is no usual announcement of "Fin de la ...ième section.)
Section 64 begins with:
"—Prenez garde, ma chère..."
There is a large section (about 1300 words) which is not in the recording beginning with:
"Son égoïsme trotte à couvert de cette armure en carton peint..."
ending with:
"...il était donc trop à toutes les femmes pour être à une seule."
I am to so grateful to be able to listen to these recordings - it is truly an amazing accomplishment! I thought it would be helpful for others listening if I mentioned this omission.

This has been pinned and waiting for a reader for over 3 years? Would you like me to read this passage and insert it into the mp3 for you?

That would be great. It should be possible to jut add it to the section, if you need help or that way wouldn't work just let me know else just upload it to my folder (annise) and let me know when you have.

I gave it a try, and decided that I need a bit more practice reading French prose before I would dare to insert my take into this impressive solo project. I'm now expecting to get it done within 2-3 weeks. However, if one of our accomplished Francophone readers would like to step in instead, I wouldn't mind at all.

Here it is:

Length: 28:42. My addition starts at 18:10.
As I mentioned, this is my first attempt at reading French prose, so I would recommend a close round of PL and appreciate any mispronunciation notes.
