Hi! I would like to read section 3 (chapter 2). Thanks!

Hi, Bill! You're in for section 3.

How do you want to be credited in the catalog?

Thanks, Tricia! Bill Schafer is fine for my catalog name. Have a great weekend, and God bless! By the way, if it is OK with you, I am going to try using accents when appropriate. If it sounds too hokey, please let me know and I will redo the reading without them or different as you wish-I aim to please, and comments/ criticism won't hurt my feelings, and will help my reading.

OK, sounds good!

Hi, Tricia! I am REALLY enjoying this! I do have a question, though...in Chapter 2, on my page 7 (as in page 7 out of 10-I am using the straight text version, so I don't know what page you would see this on...) there is a line that says the following:

No. 2 showed how, one day in the history of man and of mutton, a sheep
was sheared, her wool washed, teased, carded, etc., and the cloth *’d
and *’d and *’d and *’d, and a coat shaped...

What the heck is *'d, and how do I say it? I tried trusty Google, and didn't get much help.

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Bill S.

Hmm. I looked in an actual scan of the text, and it has the same thing. So it's not a mistake.

Umm...

I don't know!

I've posted over in "Need Help?" to get others' opinions - if they have any! It's here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=68246

Ok...I'm guessing it is "darned", as in a play on words for a substitute for "damned", and also what you would do to wool to repair it again and again. So he is saying

No. 2 showed how, one day in the history of man and of mutton, a sheep
was sheared, her wool washed, teased, carded, etc., and the cloth darned
and darned and darned and darned, and a coat shaped...

The play on words being the difference in meaning for darned, in this case not a cuss word...maybe?...

That probably is what it is. Someone on the Help thread said, "could it be 'darn'd and darn'd and darn'd and darn'd' but a profanity filter somewhere got upset about it?" so they surmise the same as you.

I'm OK with you saying "darned".

Hi, Tricia,
Section 3, Chapter 2 is done for review-please check it out at

The file is 31 minutes, 33 seconds long. Thanks!

Thank you, Bill!

I ran it through Checker quick as a preliminary for our DPL, and it shows as being in stereo. I suggest waiting to see if the DPL has any further edits to make before fixing it, and doing all the edits at once.

Oops! Try this:

Thanks for your patience! If I have anything else to fix, I will be happy to, but I wanted to get this to you right away. Still 31 minutes, 33 seconds.
