Back, stand back, you witless woffs! Do you wish to be crushed and eaten? Yon monster will alight on the North shore any moonite now!"

Chapter 6 has been fixed and uploaded. I am surprised there were not more problems with this file so thanks for the careful listen. Editing without the text is harder than I imagined it would be.

All seems to be returning to normal for you. :9:

I'm out of town until Monday. I'm taking my computer so I will still be able to PL. I'll be slow though so I understand if you need to get someone else and hurry this along.

Get someone else! HA! absolutely unthinkable! There is no rush about much in LibriVox and certainly not this. Be safe and whenever is fine. :D

Hi Linette. You are a busy girl so Thanks for the PLs. Remember OZ is a magical fairy land and so everything is relaxed and has no deadline; we sleep a lot here. In any case I have fixed 9,10,11, 12 and 13, lowered the volume a bit and uploaded again. Image

14 is spot check PL OK.

Chapter 15
8:24 missing word - He's coming for us now! Oh, Jellia, JELLIA—what shall we DO?" Dorothy's voice, rising almost to a shriek, roused the Cowardly Lion.

Volume is 92.2dB.

Chapter 16
PL OK - volume is 92.2dB

Chapter 17
1:35 missing words - "Make it twelve!" growled the Cowardly Lion, with a little bounce toward the maid. "I could eat six all by myself!"
