It is not a laptop, it is a desktop that is plugged in all the time. I do turn it off though I do not unplug it. Odd that the noise is only present sometimes.

I do wonder just why that noise has not been evident in prior chapters as nothing has changed. I ensure there is not traffic, much less heavy traffic, about when I record.
hmm, do you have a computer that is plugged in the electric socket all the time ? Because if you have a laptop that is running on batteries, the noise of the fan will be less audible if it's nnot plugged to the socket. I noticed that with my laptop. I only record on battery.

But if you have it plugged in all the time, I really don't know why one would hear it only now

Well, I think we can accept the file now Chapter 20 PL ok

will PL your next chapter soon !

ah an excellent chapter yet again. Unexpected scenery to the riviera, I see. Those two shady men talking together were really scoundrels

You did well again with the voices in this dialogue, I always knew who was talking when

Oh and good news: no PL notes this time, it's PL ok

Thank you Sonia,
I was concerned that the voices were no identical to their prior voices. Worked well though since you could tell who was speaking.

I did not heat that infernal noise and hope not to in future recordings as I now will use a barrier to prevent the microphone from picking up that sound, if I am correct and it is the fan from the computer.

I am also now fixing the error spot on so I no longer need to list just where it is located. Loving this new way.
With time, comes knowledge. Bound to be even better as time goes on....

yes true, I notice Flockhart is sometimes changing voices a bit, but it's ok, everybody sometimes speaks higher with excitement, or lower when they try to be cool LOL

I did not heat that infernal noise

nope me neither, this time it was good

I am also now fixing the error spot on so I no longer need to list just where it is located.

yes if I notice an error I read the sentence again right away, but sometimes I notice the error only with the second listening.

23 is now ready for pl

Great that the change in the voice of Flockhart is okay and I do agree with your statement of different tones, dependent on the situation.

This time there was a noise though I did SEE it so I did record that area again and put in the best looking of the two.

Hoping that chapter 23 is good to pl clear.

great new chapter again April !

I did not notice any disturbing noises this time

At one point, in the sentence: "declared Flockart, who had so often grasped the blind man's hand in friendship", I found it sweet that you were barely able to suppress a laugh here. What was so funny ?

I only found one real textual error, which you still could correct before I mark it ok:

> at 1:24: “that those unacquainted with the truth” – you say “acquainted” instead of “unacquainted” which messes up the meaning here

error fixed & posted.
I was suppressing a laugh because I continued to mispronounce "grasped".

Hello Sonia,
Yes, you guessed it correctly...chapter 24 is in the mw.

excellent again April, and PL ok

now this conversation was highly interesting and revealed two things:

1) the whispers have not been done by Flockhart and Lady Heyburn in secret meetings, as I first suspected. This is a surprise.
2) Flockhart and Heyburn have another, probably more sinister bond between them...what could it be ? Is Flockhart blackmailing her with a secret he knows ? Are they maybe half-siblings, Flockhart being a bastard son of a secret liaison of Heyburn's father ?

You see, my imagination is running wild
