Section 17 is uploaded.

https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/thrift_17_smiles_128kb.mp3 25:49

From this chapter I have unearthed my next group project, the biography of Sir Titus Salt, Baronet . . . . of whom I've never heard and I am sure you'll agree he certainly needs to be remembered. I've read the first few chapters and it's not at all hard to read.

They were fine the way they were, IMHO.

When at my computer they sound fine. When I wait a few days and listen away from my computer, like while driving, cooking, or walking, they always sound rushed. Tempo -1 or -2 generally knocks off a wee bit of that rushed talk. It only shaves off 30 seconds or so from a 30 minute file, but it makes a difference.
