thank you Larry, this was really a long Nativity hymn ! And near-perfect run-through to it all, I only found one small error, if I'm not mistaken. Please have a listen here:

> at 7:18: (p. 591): "The babe lies yet in smiling infancy" – I’m not sure but I think you say “the bible”

> Section 105 is already PL ok.

> for Section 104 your volume is only 67 dB What happened ? I had to crank it up quite a bit to hear anything. But the title is perfect now. So you only need to amplify the whole by 20 dB and then you’ll be fine

thanks !

I have uploaded a DRAFT edit of section 25 all assembled except for Sakoontala. I'll add her in when that part is recorded. (Feel free to PL in advance of completion if you wish.)

well I was highly curious, so I did indeed listen to it all just now. It sounds so great assembled And you really out-did yourself with the merging of the two attendants (the job that nearly cost me my sanity ) What we have so far is flawless. But I will listen to it all once again, when we have our Sakoontala added to the plot.

Thank you so much, Todd. I definitely owe you one for this.

Yikes! Well, I always check my volume with Replay Gain, even on resubmissions, and all I can think is that I then amplified with a huge negative number. But, surely I would have seen the flat wave form! Somnambulism, maybe.

And, you are right -- Bible might fit theologically here, but I've put the Babe back where he belongs.

that's what I thought when I saw the barely visible audacity line

well both sections are PL ok now. Thanks !

I only have one tiny note for the title:

> at 0:11: could you also please give the time, as mentioned after the title: “How the Persians built a house (about 1885) by S.G.W. Benjamin”. It's nice to know the historical context of a chapter.

Oops! Sorry I missed that. All fixed:

https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/worldstory_volume02_079_tappan_128kb.mp3 - 3:23

Glad you enjoyed it!

[Kitty]

Oops! Sorry I missed that. All fixed:

thank you Kara, totally PL ok now (and sorry for being so picky but since this is a world history, I figured, the dates would be important to have)

Great, another section finished

Working my way through my backlog

I did the few sentences of Sakoontala first because they were just so short, so that you can finish the drama .

oh thank you so much, Monika Your Sakoontala is very soft-spoken, especially at the beginning, I liked that very much Good interpretation. Also no errors and nothing missing, so this is PL ok.

Todd, whenever you have time, you can finalize the play, then I will PL it one last time.

thank you

great job, Todd, thank you so much for this Monika is excellently inserted and the whole piece has come together wonderfully. The play is: PL ok. A big thank you to our small troupe for making it so special

oh and if ever there is interest in doing the whole thing...I found it on Gutenberg it's huge, some 10 acts or so

10 acts beeing a soft-spoken, probably submissive (or obedient) spouse?! I don't know if I survive that (or if the role survives it )

But well, why not, roundabout five hours play, that's almost no work, especially for the editor
