Here's section 2 (22:59)
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/catharinedebora_02_morris_128kb.mp3

I thought my recording sounded a bit distorted (like the mic was too "hot"), but I was assured that it sounds OK and must just be my speakers. Let me know.

And let me know if any pronunciations need changing.

Thanks, Tricia! This was a pretty long section, and I appreciate your taking it on.

Which I will enjoy more because they are of more reasonable length....

Okay, thanks so much, Bill. I know there were a couple of long sections in here, and I appreciate you and the others who took them on. I din't want to chop this up too much, but also tried to balance out the section lengths.

Chapter 4 PL:
All good except that you have given the number of the footnotes. I think the convention is just to say, "Footnote".
If these are to be changed, they are at 4:55 (Footnote 8), 7:54 (9), 8:58 (10) and 22:21 (11).

Perhaps "admin" could advise.

Chapter 5 PL:
13:30 "respect" said instead of "request"
15:10 "prerequisite" said instead of "perquisite"

The rest is essentially okay, although there are various background noises throughout the recording, especially a repeated "pinging" noise (6:59, 7:21, 7:37, 7:52, 8:17, 8:20, 8:24, 8:40, 8:44, 8:49, 9:10, 9:44, 10:09, 10:42, 10:59, 11:10, 11:32, 11:52, 12:14, 12:18).

Normally pronunciation is at the readers' 'discretion' but at 2:48 "poppery" is said for "popery", which loses the meaning.

Finally, a pause is needed after the end of a quotation, as it is unclear that what follows is not included in the quotation, particularly at 2:33, 4:43, 5:08, 8:02 and 8:58.

Good PL. I do agree that the missed words need to be corrected. The pauses after the quotes are a borderline issue, but easy enough to fix. I do hear the slight pinging in the background. Although I haven't sampled everyone of them, I think they fall within acceptable parameters for a LibriVox recording. Just something to keep in mind for your recordings. Overall, a good job.

Chapter 6 PL:
13:12 "First" said for the German word "ist"
2:14 - a pause is needed here (between paragraphs).

The sentence from 1:44 - 1:55 is duller than the rest - should be amplified. ("The black velvet cloth ... valuable memento.")
There are some background noises at 4:38, 6:05 - 6:15, and at 10:50.

[For the pronunciation of the inscription at the end:
hin-ter-las-sen-e; Witwe = Vit-ve (In both the final e is a schwa.)]
