Zdenko!! I've been so worried about him, thank goodness he is well. He really touches my heart and I don't know why!

Page 273 (46:43) there is a blot and I deciphered it, but correctly? I don't know.
Thanks again for this chapter and for your perseverance with this long recording! Nicely done, as always. I have just a few notes:

- At 37:46, "the vulgar world throws the alms," I hear "the vulgar word throws the alms" (p. 270)
- At the blurred out phrase you mentioned, looking at another translation, it appears to be "seemed impregnated with poetry." Would you mind recording that phrase?

I hadn't expected to see Zdenko again the first time I read this! The scene of his being helped along while walking I found really touching.
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Thank you for this section! Nicely done, as always. I have just a few notes:

- At 0:41, there's a repeat of "Letter from Philon...Part 2"
- At 9:14, "The sand bears the foot-marks," I hear "The sand bears and foot-marks" (p. 280)
- At 11:26, "as if it had been revealed to me," you say "as it had been revealed to me (p. 281)
- At 13:34, "You will be blamed, accused, calumniated," you say "You will be blamed, accused, culminated" (p. 282)
- At 35:14, "nowadays disdained by the pedants," I hear "nowadays disdained by the pendants" (p. 290)
For the time being, I'll need a little more time than usual to PL sections that come in on weekdays. Thanks for your patience.

Certainly! Thank you for claiming, and welcome to LV! :) Could you let me know what name you'd like to be listed under in the catalog?

Since this is a relatively long chapter and will probably be about 20 minutes or so long, I'd recommend claiming a shorter section of a project and starting off with that so that you can get the hang of the recording and editing process. One of the poetry projects or a book chapter of around 1,500 words or fewer might be a good place to start. But it's up to you - some new readers dive in headfirst with long chapters!

It's also a good idea to wait for feedback on your 1-minute test before you start recording, in case there are any settings that need to be adjusted.

I want to mention that even though this is chapter 30, because of the way I've had to divide up some of the chapters, the filename will be countessofrudolstadt_32_sand_128kb.mp3, since it goes by the section number rather than the chapter number.

Feel free to ask me if you have questions about anything!
Hi. Sorry for updating so late. I met with an accident and was hospitalised. I am still not able to sit for longer hours. Please assign my claim to someone else. Thankyou for understanding.

- At the part you mentioned above (7:40), "It is said that a persevering will always accomplishes its object," could you read the "accomplishes," since "will" in this case is a noun? Sand's/Shaw's elevated style does make this another one of those sentences that take some parsing!
- At 24:26, "I asked him if he knew what were the Invisibles," you say, "I asked him if he knew where were the Invisibles" (p. 249)
- At 28:11, "all that is thought of the Invisibles," you say "all that is thought of of the Invisibles" (p. 251)
- At 34:40, "They no longer agree about anything," you say "They no longer agree with anything" (p. 254)
- At 40:21, "and delph-colored eyes," I hear "and depth-colored eyes" (p. 256)
- At 48:26, "There is an unforeseen obstacle," you say "There is an unfortunate obstacle" (p. 259)
Aha! A subject! It's so obvious now that it has been pointed out to me! (I should've known she wouldn't have used a slangy implied subject as my torturous interpretation required). And the next time I renew my drivers license I'm going to say "delph-colored" for my eyes and see how that goes over. Ha!

Now 55:18 and all fixed: https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/countessofrudolstadt_21_sand_128kb.mp3

Thanks again for everything, I think Sand (plus your first class PLing) perhaps elevated, if not my style, at least my consciousness of it when I see it on a page.

Thanks,
Brize

Wow, what a book. I always hate when a good book is over. This was exciting and fearsome but I'm glad I don't live with these people who expect so much of you. I would be a complete failure. Thank you so much for your scrupulous PL'ing as we all want the best product that we can produce.

No apology needed. :) Thanks for checking in. I'm sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you! Just one quick thing and then you'll be all set: at 11:15, "as if it had been revealed to me," I hear "as it had been revealed to me" (p. 281).

Thank you for section 49! Nicely done, as always. I have just a few notes:

- At 0:10, "of The Countess of Rudolstadt," I think that "from The Countess of Rudolstadt" will help it be clear to listeners that "Part 3" refers to the Letter to Philon.
- At 17:41, "Otherwise, I, born of kings," part of "Otherwise" falls a bit below an audible level (p. 299).
- At the very end, could you add "End of The Countess of Rudolstadt, by George Sand, translated by Francis G. Shaw"?

I know what you mean! After spending 1,400-ish pages with her, it feels like Consuelo is a friend of mine. Thank you for all your hard work on this project!
