Hey KevinS
In Chapter 6, a whole section of the narrator's part is missing (at 15:00) as there is an error in the text itself imo. Could someone please tell if there is a mistake in the file?
I think some part of the narrator is written under Uncle Henry:

Henry: "Well, that was the lead-pencil desk in the old days. When they couldn't run down to the store to buy things, because there wasn't any store to run to, how do you suppose they got their lead-pencils!" Elizabeth Ann shook her head, incapable even of a guess. She had never thought before but that lead-pencils grew in glass show-cases in stores.
"Well, sir,"

This whole part is written in green under Uncle Henry.

Yes, good catch!

We just need Bookworm to read that missing sentence. I can place it into the final chapter file easily.

I'll mention the part where I am confused in case someone finds it important.
02:06 - missing line "with extreme haste"
03:40 - missing word "abjectly"
since it doesn't completely change the sentence meaning, I have left it out. Although I am willing to hear what others think about it and whether it is fine or not?
These are minor errors. I agree that they don't have to be fixed.

Yes, I will send a PM to see if Bookworm can record those couple sentences. If she is unable, they can be left out altogether; the story still makes sense without them.

I'm happy to take on the remaining chapters, if you'd like.
In chapter 4, I am a bit confused but most part of the recording is PL OK.

I, too, noticed those when I put it together. However, as editor, I generally assume that if the individual parts have been deemed PL OK in those cases, then they're good to go as far as the final project is concerned. Thanks for being attentive!
