But you narrated it beautifully, it was a pleasure to listen to the story :9: Thank you so much.

I only found two small pronounciations that are odd and change the meaning of the word, which you might want to correct. And one repeat needs to get cut:

> at 15:50: (p. 27) "and examined the bauble more closely" - you say "babble", this 'au' is pronounced like in haunted, laundry, dawn

> at 25:34: (p. 30) "the blood coursed through her veins" - you say "vines", it should rhyme with pains, lanes, stains

> at 27:50: (p. 31) repeat, one version can get cut: "Marie has awakened before me, the thought"

thank you, Sarah

Thank you!

Yes, very tragic. They for their secrecy and her for her greed.

I'll do my best to fix them today.
Thanks, SaraHale. :D
Constructive criticism is always welcome. :thumbs:

I noticed section 1 may be open soon. If it does get orphaned, I would be happy to adopt it.

thank you so much for offering, Julie. Indeed the reader hasn't responded and the deadline expired, so yes, you're up for section 1 now.

Seems like you're back to an unbroken streak :mrgreen:

yes I find this thrilling as well.

As for the other reader, once she has more recording time again I'm sure there will be a Black Cat lurking still somewhere on the forum for her to participate 8-) We are far from finishing the series.

Here is your missing story. Definitely long, but with a happy ending. No, really. :D

:clap: super well narrated and all with different character voices, I loved it, thank you so much, Julie. Also for the quick turn-around to finish this project, especially seeing it was the longest story of this project. :thumbs:

Totally PL ok. I somehow expected this ending of the story, but the wife was less cunning than I thought :lol:

And with this the project is ready for the catalogue. :9:

Here are the teasers for your 5 stories, I hope I managed hooking ones yet again:
> His Millionaire Client: a clever plan is hatched to claim a convicted murderer's inheritance
> The Egg that Ran Away: a naturalist finds a supposedly new species of eggs
> Love and Avarice: obsessive love often ends in tragedy
> How the Widow Raised the Mortgage: this captain definitely did not want to be trapped in marriage
> Told in China: a broken China cup finally reunites two childhood lovers
A big thanks to the five talented narrators of this collection: Dan, Greg, Julie, Laurie and Sarah :clap:

Will post the link once it's passed...
