Sonia, you are PL OK. I liked your presentation of emotion in the speeches. I see now why you do drama.

thank you yes I enjoy doing direct speeches and I turn every text into my own private dramatic reading

If Section 7 becomes available may I claim it?

Thank you!

Greg

[Kitty]

If Section 7 becomes available may I claim it?

thank you, Greg, that would be helpful. Since the two-month deadline has expired now without a word from the claimant, I will assign Section 7 to you now and I'll take the other orphaned section 1, so we can catalogue soon

Excellent work as always, but I must do my usual fussing about pronunciation, which may not really be of any consequence. I am used to the name of the author (27) being pronounced to rhyme with hay. And I think I still hear ear for ere instead of air (2:58). The poetic over, which is o'er, should rhyme with oar and is usually not rendered as two syllables (46,1:05, 2:11,and 2:47). Finally, whate'er is only two syllables usually. But as I said, most of these may be characterized as quibbling and need not be changed. Yours, Jim

Take care,

I am used to the name of the author (27) being pronounced to rhyme with hay.

oh, this guy was Irish, I didn't look that up. Yes, I prefer to say the names correctly, so thanks for pointing it out. "by J. Augustus Shea" has been re-recorded.

And I think I still hear ear for ere instead of air (2:58).

I did it again...old habits die hard. I corrected "ere the fascinator's eyes", the rest stays the same. It was at 2:55 though.

The poetic over, which is o'er, should rhyme with oar and is usually not rendered as two syllables (46,1:05, 2:11,and 2:47). Finally, whate'er is only two syllables usually. But as I said, most of these may be characterized as quibbling and need not be changed.

ok I decided to leave these as they were. It is a quirk of mine to speak "o'er" and the like out in full because I did try sometimes to say the syncopated word but it never sounded good to me, I seem to have trouble saying these words. So I will sacrifice the rhythm and rhyme a bit on those lines. Hope that's ok.

Thanks for the fast PL

No, I completely agree with you. I don't think it really matters here. You are PL 0K. Jim
