Again, for chapter 2, these are mostly minor changes.

Thank you so much!! Jane is an interesting person.

Here are the edited parts:

00:40 - with even simulated interest.
3:28 - Removed the word "the".
15:14 - insisting that France in wartime was no place for an untrained girl.
06:09 - Removed the word "the".
06:29 - Removed the word "that".
09:25 - Removed the word "and".
11:32 - I've two daughters of my own.
11:45 - A word to a single living soul and you'll end your usefulness.
11:55 - He'll explain everything to you. Promise me you'll see him.
12:14 - turning on his heel and vanishing speedily as if afraid
14:15 - to submit to it
17:04 - there were no intimacies between mother and daughter.
18:09 - As soon as I've paid my check we'll go.
19:10 - tea-time in an exclusive hotel.
19:45 - picturing him as a hunted criminal fleeing from the law.
21:29 - His flaxen hair was neatly trimmed

Thanks! :9:

Excellent job with the changes. I can't even tell there was editing in those spots. Chapter 1 is PL OK

Add, you are welcome.

Thanks,

M

THis is the first time I have PL'd anything other than standard. I am glad to have the opportunity as it is quite different.
Thanks! Sonia told me once before to record a few words before and after the part that I need to correct so it won't be noticeable.

That's great! I like it because I can honor the author's words, help me make sure that I'm pronouncing the words correctly, and I think books that are on Audible.com are word-perfect.

I hope that I'll not be troubling you so much.
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

Hi, Mleigh!

I've recorded chapter 3.

I'm hoping that I can manage to record a chapter every other day. If not, then definitely on the weekends.

Thanks! :D

Chapter 3 notes, again mostly minor:

I had to listen to the first two several times and I am still uncertain whether I am haring it incorrectly or not. If I am mihearing it no need to fix them. In both of them it should be "Miss" but it sounds to me like "Missus""
1:51 "Are you Miss Strong?"
2:33 "Sit down, won't you, Miss Strong,"


7:51 I am hearing "They are" instead of the contraction in "They're Germans, of course?"
10:27 sounds to me like "mutation plants", should be "trying to destroy our munition plants",
10:32, I hear "disturb" in "trying to disrupt our Congress."
14:13 sounds to me like "compared" in "we have combed the apartment houses"
14:44 You have "practical" instead of "neither course is practicable."
15:20 You've got "You will" instead of the contraction in "You'll have to tell me how to go about it."
18:42 missing "be" in "must be thwarted at all costs."
19:16 I hear "abroad instead of "aboard" in "Somebody aboard is a traitor."
20:56 "I am" used instead of the contraction in "I'm sure, too, that it was no suicide,"

I can really sense Jane's excitement in your reading.

Thank you, Mleigh! I'm hoping that I'll get at least one chapter PL Ok in the first round. Sorry for troubling you.

Thanks! The book is very interesting. And I'm enjoying it to the max. What do you think of Mr. Fleck? I felt bad that Jane takes K-19. Didn't he have another number to give her?

I'll do my best to fix those errors and upload the chapter for you.
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

Hi, Sonia!

Sadly, I'll be busy with work for the next couple of months. And I don't want to leave the book hanging like that any longer.

Will it be okay to relinquish it as a group project?

Thanks for your understanding!

P.S. I'll be here for any updates on Chapter 3.
Thanks, SaraHale. :D

thank you for letting me know, Sarah and yes, that is absolutely ok. I will organize it all soon.

I am also waiting for confirmation whether mleigh will stay on as DPL :)

All the best

Sorry to hear that you will be unable to finish this but I understand having other commitments. I have enjoyed listening to the emotion and feeling you have put into your reading.

I have one comment for section 3:

10:27 "trying to destroy our munition plants", sounds to me like "mutition plants".

Everything else is good. :)
