I've just seen these. I wasn't sure whether you want me to make the edits but I've gone ahead and cut the repeats. It was an interesting exercise and I now better appreciate the wiki's statement that people quickly learn to edit from back to front.Lynnet wrote: ↑February 15th, 2020, 5:02 amThanks... but we don't comment on pronunciation.

7:40 minutes ... "I know I am quite right"
21:35 ... She rather wanted the place..."
22:10 table d'hote - (aspirated h)
Please accept this in the friendly and, I hope helpful, spirit in which it's meant. I mention the above knowing If it were my recording I'd want to know.

I do appreciate the heads up on 'table d'hote' but I've left that as is on the basis that a slight mispronunciation is not that important (and i'm telling myself that Seymour speaks as little French as I do) and rerecording sections is a bit of a faff on my setup (and conditions are not particularly conducive to recording at the moment). If you feel it should be fixed I can have another go at it.

Seeing your explanation mark, I am emboldened to ask:
Can I also claim chapter 10?
This is a fun project.
