Hey everyone!

I'd love to do section 20, Carnation, if that's ok?

Thanks!
Kate

Eva, Nemo - thanks! I’m out of the house now so will PL later.

Thanks, Nemo and Eva. Both are PL OK and wonderfully read.

Well, I only skimmed the story before I assigned the parts and, after listening to your recordings, I see that there are two characters labelled as 'He'. Or are there? I think having Nemo playing both adds to the queasy, heightened feel of the story - to think that it's somehow a wife having an 'affair' with her husband. Lots of the other stories in this collection have a similar feeling. I am going to chalk this one up as an accidental success!

Oh, it's great that this worked out. Thanks for the PL and kind words.

"Queasy" is the perfect word for this piece ...

Hello! I would like to do section 13, something childish but very natural.

Thanks a lot!

A reminder - because this is the last story in the book - to please end your recording with:
"End of Section 25. End of Something Childish and Other Stories, by Katherine Mansfield. "

I just have a couple questions before I post.

The "all librivox recordings are in the public domain" at the beginning is good enough? I don't need to say "This work is in the public domain" at the end?

And, should I put the year in parentheses at the end? I mean it is written in parentheses, should I read it?

Thanks!

Thanks for checking. At the beginning you would say "Section [number] of Something Childish and Other Stories. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit: librivox DOT org. Recording by [name]. [Story title] by Katherine Mansfield".

At the end of the story you just say "End of section [number]".

I have been reading the dates at the end, as have some other readers, but some have missed it out. I would rather it was included, but it's not a big deal if it's not there.

Thanks! No worries: the other one is long and we’re not in a rush. I will PL later today.
