For GJConover:
I enjoyed these chapters. Here are a few observations, divided into those errors that I believe should be addressed, and those that may be ignored, if you choose.
CHAPTER 7
Thinks to correct:
3:26 There is an electronic sound.
CHAPTER 8
Thinks to correct:
1:19 "betoking" instead of "betokening"
3:28 "He is a Yankee?" was read as an assertion by Captain Montague, but it is a question by Judge Symonds. In fact, from this point to the end of the paragraph
should be redone.
10:55 "renew" instead of "renewed"
Minor errors:
2:52 "poor" missing
8:16 "your daughter is in the image" instead of "your daughter is the image"
9:45 "that the powerful" instead of "and that the powerful"

Gary,
You interpreted Ben Manx very well. He provided some amusing comic relief in these chapters. You could say he stole the scene from the daring St. Leger.
CHAPTER 9
Needs to be corrected:
1:46 "Ole Haskins was" instead of "Ole Haskins are"
8:08 "the way" instead of "this way"
8:30 "didn't I prewent it" instead of "didn't prewent it"
Minor observations:
1:26 "used to be" instead of "used to was"
2:26 "That's mean" instead of "It's mean"
4:25 "bantry" instead of "pantry". Perhaps this was a deliberate choice on your part, but I just did not get it.
5:50 "the house" instead of "home"
8:16 "practicisin" instead of "practicin". Again, I am not sure if this was done deliberately.
10:10 "prewide me with a good meal" instead of "prewide me such a good meal"
CHAPTER 10
Needs to be corrected:
0:58 "that" not in the text. This extraneous word, combined with the pause immediately following, made the sentence confusing to me.
16:22: "intersposed" instead of "interposed"

Hi Oscar,
There has been no reply from Gary or RMeredith. RMeredith' section has been reopened.
For Gary's work, I made the edits that I could to the files. Since project is at a Standard Level of proof listening, the word deviations can stay. I marked Chapters 8 and 9 PL OK for that reason. The edits I made are noted below. They are Ready for Spot PL.
Chapter 5 17:13
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/northernspy_05_warren_128kb.mp3
beep at the beginning
0:26 beep
3:14 "the" read twice
6:35 bad edit
over 2 minutes of silence at the end of the recording
Chapter 6 13:24
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/northernspy_06_warren_128kb.mp3
2:32 stutter and repeated "no"
2:57 The pause between "blank" and "leaf" is too long. It makes it appear that "leaf" is the beginning of another clause.
CHAPTER 7 15:21
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/northernspy_07_warren_128kb.mp3
3:26 There is an electronic sound.
CHAPTER 10 17:44
https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/northernspy_10_warren_128kb.mp3
0:58 "that" not in the text. This extraneous word, combined with the pause immediately following, made the sentence confusing to me.
Chapter 8
[Not in the PL Notes] Reduced amplification into range

Please review them when you have a chance.
Maybe we will get his into the catalog soon.
Thanks.

Please give these a listen, Oscar. It would be great to get this into the catalog soon.

Amy,
I listened to chapter 1 and found no problems. It is marked OK.
I spot checked chapters 5 and 6. Both of these are also marked OK.
Chapter 7 still has the extraneous sound, along with a couple of missing words, so I left its status as is. Nevertheless, I listened to that part carefully and found that despite this sound, the meaning is easily discernible. I leave it up to you to decide whether to further correct the sound file or update the status.

Hi Oscar,
I found that sound and took it out. That bit is quite a difficult piece of dialect. I hope this can be considered 'good enough'. The pop at 3:26 is gone.
Thank you for proof listening. This isn't an easy one.
