Bruce -

a couple of PL notes from section 17 -

4:09 text reads (Wuthering Heights); you say "from Jane Eyre"

14:14 text: what she had it in her to say; "it" is missing (this is optional, as it doesn't really change the meaning - up to you if you want to leave as is)

Thanks for your notes. I've uploaded a corrected version that includes the "it" that I missed first time.
https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/commonreader_17_woolf_128kb.mp3

As for that footnote, I'm sorry: I meant to mention this when I first posted. What you're hearing is actually a correction I felt I had to make to a corruption in the Gutenberg text. That footnote was originally intended to be a comparison of two passages, first, one from Wuthering Heights, then one from Jane Eyre. But the Gutenberg text just inserts "Wuthering Heights" in parenthesis right in between the two quotes, and accidentally drops off the "Jane Eyre" citation that should have come at the end of the footnote. (Oh dear, is that confusing? It makes visual sense when you see the way it was supposed to look, on the photoscan of the original at archive.org.)

So I knew I had to fix that and squeeze in the "Jane Eyre" citation, but I thought that for a listener— rather than a reader seeing the visual footnote — it would be more intelligible to say, "from Wuthering Heights" and "from Jane Eyre" leading into each of the respective quotations, rather than just naming the books after each quotation.

So that's what I did. At 3:47, you'll hear, "from Wuthering Heights", then the WH quotation, then at 4:09 you hear "from Jane Eyre" followed by the JE quotation. I think it makes better sense to the ear, even though it takes a tiny liberty with the original text. (And, in any case, as I said, the Gutenberg rendering had already messed it up.)

I hope (a) this is clear, and (b) it's OK to have done it this way. If you don't like it, I can fix it again. (I've realized that it was easier to just do it, rather than to try to explain it!)
