The Marquis de Villemer by George Sand (1804 - 1876). Translated by Ralph Keeler ( 1840 - 1873)

Caroline is a very intelligent woman. She received a good convent education until her father lost his fortune in a failed venture and died soon after. While her sister marries, Caroline has to go to Paris to support herself as a lady companion. In Paris, she is exposed to a privileged world she cannot dream to take part in. Or can she? Can her love for the good marquess of Villemer win social classes and prejudice? ( Stav Nisser.)
• This project is now complete. All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/the-marquis-de-villemer-by-george-sand/
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/63083
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

I can DPL if needed.
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Stav,
I'm MC this one. Your DPL is added so I'll move you to Readers Wanted. The magic window is filled out. This one is going to be nice. There are no chapters that needed to split.
Cheers,

Good! I can take the next chapter, 3 too. (It's a continuation of the letter in chap 2 so good to have it in the same voice perhaps)

Great. Chapter 3 is all yours. But I need to know the duration of chapter 2. I cannot simply receive a link. It is extremely important.
