Hi Ben, Just noticed that the Roman numerals in the MW Section Titles are at odds with the actual chapter numbers of the book. Can you check into this?

Yea, that was intentional. with several multi-part stories, the roman numerals would've been duplicated, and it looked very strange. It seemed less confusing to the actual listener to have each section with a unique roman numeral.

duration: 25:34

Hi Paula, I started to PL this but there are many repeats. Below are the notes to as far as I got. Please listen to the whole recording and remove repeats an fix below edits. After you reupload that, I will PL the whole.

4:30 Remove repeat "a hayrick ... outhouses
2:58 missing words "gambolled in the delicious liberty ... all linked by strong affection." before "The delicate fragile existence of my mother..."
0:24 should be "XVI" which is the number in the Section Title in the MW"; I heard "XIII"
Thanks!
Christine

Very well dramatized. Great character voice and accents!
Section 17 notes (Please make your edits from the end of the recording to the beginning so the time references stay true:
Leave 5 seconds exactly of silence at the end (as in all Librivox recordings)
25:54 should be "when she heard"; I heard "where she heard"
22:24 should be "whose embowering trees"; I heard "whose empowering trees"
22:13 missing words and paragraph: "Who is that lovely being .... remarkably gentle and steady"
21:08 remove repeated words "and then"
17:39 should be "is it possible"; I heard "it is possible"
6:32 missing words "He was thinking of he country"
shorten beginning silence to .5 to 1 second.
Thanks!
Christine

Dear Kitty,

re: The Parvenue

I do not want to complete this. It has turned into sheer torture for me. The more I work on it, the more I hate it. Please let someone else do this.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that... I'll open it up for availability again if you really don't think you want to edit it.
