But do you know that you can magnify the page quite a bit in the archive scan ? I always do a double magnify and usually I can read it very comfortably then. As an example, here are two screenshots I made, this is the way I read the text. https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/rover0123-voyage-2.zip

Would that be better for you to read ? You have to push twice on the magnifying glass in the bottom right corner under the scan window.

Meanwhile, I will release you from your claim again, unless now you want to keep it after all...waiting for confirmation on this.

I didn’t realize you could zoom in that far! That does help a lot! Now that I know I can zoom in I think I’ll definitely have a better time reading it :lol: thank you for the tip!

you mean you will keep the section ? :9:

Thanks

if you need help with zoom, let me know. My screenshots were done with zooming twice, I just tried, you can zoom in even further, even up to 4 times. After that it gets a bit blurred :lol:

If all else fails, I'll make you screenshots of the text like this.

Yes I will keep it! I tried it on my laptop and I can see fine now with it zoomed in twice. I always love seeing the Rover sections so I’m excited to take part in it :D

Here is Section 8! The zooming in was a LIFESAVER :lol: but I'm so glad I stuck with it because this was an amazing story (I love a cheesy romance story ❤️)

glad to hear that :D but still, even with the zoom the script sometimes is a bit hard to read. It's definitely a challenge. I'm happy you managed.

awww yes, me too. I would have preferred a happy ending though. I was wondering whether this church really exists, maybe in England ? Y could be York...need to check up on that. Of course it could also be in the States.

Anyway...wonderfully narrated, I really enjoyed listening to it. The text itself is flawless :thumbs:

I only have one small doubt, could you maybe have another listen here ?

> at 0:04, at 0:21 and at 11:21: "Number 23" – I may be mistaken, but I think you say "twenty-thirty" instead of "twenty-three" each time :hmm: Maybe my ears are just tricking me but I found it strange.

Thanks

no worries, Faithann, your deadline was still far away :) But seeing it's the last section we are all waiting for, of course I appreciate that you gave it a faster turn-around. :9: The story indeed is lovely and I'm glad there was a happy ending. Nicely narrated too, I enjoyed it.

There are two small bits missing however, if you could still insert those parts all would be perfect:

> at 6:38: (p. 354) missed sentence: "Did you ever try him ?"

> at 11:18: (p. 354) missed part of the sentence (underlined): "all the pleasures of the day, it was never quite clear to him that Sybil did not expose him..."

thank you
