@Elijah: So, I can't do any more without your parts. If you could spit them out, we would be eternally grateful!!!
Here's what I need to finish this project:
Dramatis Personae:
"Felix
King"
Felix Chapter 7:
Could you please record the following line and submit it as a separate file:
"Hard words break no bones," observed Felix philosophically.
Felix, Chapter 24:
You don't need to bother with the gasps and the shrieks in Chapter 24 - I've edited them together without Felix. Now all I need are the 2 missing lines below and the chapter will be ready for PL:
On page 10, please add the line:
"Oh, God, please make Pat better by the morning. PLEASE do."
On page 11, please add the line:
"I wish I knew whether it was the praying or Peg Bowen that cured Pat,"
Felix, Chapter 26:
00:01
"Why, who ever heard of a sermon without a text?"
I can't hear "of".
1:35
But when Peter preaches just such a sermon, it's a very different story."
I can't hear "such".
2:03
Cecily was just as scared as Sara Ray, but she'd more sense than to show it like that."
We've all been pronouncing "Cecily" with a short "e" (sess) and I couldn't hear the word "than", but I did hear two other unclear sounds.
2:22
"
Felicity makes enough faces when there's nothing to make faces at,"
We've all be pronouncing the second syllable in "Felicity" with a short "i" (like "lip") -- yours sounded like a long "e" (like "lee").
Felix, Chapter 27:
2:00
Could I ask you please to change the intonation of this sentence for clarity? There should be a pause between "was" and "the":
"
The more religious anything was [pause]
the more fighting there was about it."
Chapter 28:
Felix, so far as my remembrance goes, never attained to success in the Ordeal of Bitter Apples. He gave up trying after awhile; and he also gave up praying about it, saying in bitterness of spirit that
there was no use in praying when other fellows prayed against you out of spite. He and Peter remained on bad terms for some time, however.
Felix alone, must unjustly and spitefully, declared that
Peter was simply shirking.
"He's just lazy, that's what's the matter with him," he said.
"Why do white sheep eat more than black?" asked Felix.
"It isn't a conundrum," said Felix.
"It's a fact. They do--and there's a good reason for it."
The rest of us could not see where any catch could exist, since Felix solemnly vowed, 'cross his heart,
white sheep did eat more than black. We argued over it seriously, but finally had to give it up.
"Because there's more of them," said Felix, grinning.
Chapter 29
We all stood around, stricken, incredulous.
"Do you mean," said Felix, finding voice at length,
"that Peter is going to die?"
The Story Girl nodded miserably.
[Bev,
Felix, Felicity, Dan, Cecily:
CRY]
"While there's life there's hope, you know," said Felix.
"We shouldn't cross bridges till we come to them."
"There ain't many fellows as fair and square as Peter," said Dan.
"And such a worker," said Felix. [PRAISE]
"There's one thing we can do," said Cecily gently. "We can pray for him."
"I'm going to pray like sixty," said Felix energetically.
"Let's all go down to the Ray gate and holler to Judy Pineau till she comes out," suggested Felix. [HAPPILY]
Chapter 30
FELIX' LETTER
"DEAR PETER:--I am awful glad you are getting better. We all felt bad when we thought you wouldn't, but I felt worse than the others because we hadn't been on very good terms lately and I had said mean things about you. I'm sorry and, Peter, you can pray for anything you like and I won't ever object again. I'm glad Uncle Alec interfered and stopped the fight. If I had licked you and you had died of the measles it would have been a dreadful thing.
"We have all the apples in and haven't much to do just now and we are having lots of fun but we wish you were here to join in. I'm a lot thinner than I was. I guess working so hard picking apples is a good thing to make you thin. The girls are all well. Felicity puts on as many airs as ever, but she makes great things to eat. I have had some splendid dreams since we gave up writing them down. That is always the way. We ain't going to school till we're sure we are not going to have the measles. This is all I can think of, so I will draw to a close. Remember, you can pray for anything you like. FELIX KING."
Chapter 31:
...Felix suddenly shut his eyes, bent his head, and said a very good grace without any appearance of embarrassment. We looked at him when it was over with an increase of respect.
"Where on earth did you learn that, Felix?" I asked.
"It's the grace Uncle Alec says at every meal," answered Felix.
I have never heard anything more horribly suggestive than that innocent word "something," as enunciated by the Story Girl. I felt Cecily's hand,
icy cold, clutching mine.
"What--what--was IT like?" whispered Felix, curiosity getting the better of his terror. [SCARED, BUT CURIOUS]
Thanks,
