sorry for being so late today...had a lot to record myself

Here are two more sections:
Section 78 - https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/wordportraits_078_wotton_128kb.mp3
Section 79 - https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/wordportraits_079_wotton_128kb.mp3

thanks for those interesting sections. I am amazed that Mrs Wotton only found one single source for Pepys Well, the section on Pepys is immediately PL ok.

Two small notes for Otway though:

> at 1:32: "from Sir Walter Scott’s Memoir of Mrs. Radcliffe. *" - missing "from"

> at 2:00: missing line: "On a picture."

thanks

Here are my four sections, a couple for Spot PL:

thank you Larry, this introduction was really very interesting. And I found it quite funny that Mrs Wotton would feature her husband at the very end of the book. I suppose Henry Wotton was her hubby ?

Anyway, agreeably narrated, all of it.

Sections 13 & 76 are Spot PL ok.
Section 115 is PL ok.

One tiny note for the Introduction, though:

> at 5:45: "and Mr. S. C. Hall" - you turned him into a Mrs not sure he would have liked that

and the last two for today and then I'm done with my PL backlog

thanks Lora, two great readings, yet again. on the whole they were almost flawless, I only found one little detail to correct. Both files though have excessive background noise. Could you please run one round of noise-cleaning over them both, then it will be perfect. Do you remember how to do that ?

> select a small portion where you don't speak (at the end of your file is always a nice sample)
> go to Effect - Noise Cleaning
> first select Get Noise Profile
> then highlight the entire recording
> again Effect - Noise Cleaning
> now select OK

Apart from that, only one error to correct in Section 110:

> at 1:30: "from Cunningham’s Letters of Walpole. *" - could you please also say "asterisk" after the last word ? We agreed to state the asterisk when it appears, because it's mentioned in the introduction with an explanation

thank you

Hello again,
Here are the links for sections 110 and 112. I have added the word "asterisk" as requested and have put both files through noise cleaning. Hoping that will be okay. Thanks, Lora

I've been working my way through some other long-standing claims of mine. These are next on the recording table for me.
