The scene is set for Deirdre to meet the king. :| But first . . . she slips out for a night of freedom! :) Oops, no, that's Section 7. :(

Jo, on the Project Screen, it says Project 18865: Dierdra

It should be Deirdre, in case that matters. I had misspelled it in the template generator, since corrected everywhere else that I can get to.

You're flying it Michele. I'll have to get my skates on :D .

The brown bull story may not be in this book but in Irish myths and legends, it's the one that's most associated with Queen Maeve.

Fixed. I had missed your correction. It does matter since whatever is in the database will be what ultimately is on the catalog page and elsewhere. :)

" brown bull of Cooley"? . . . intriguing.
I see Deirdre is going to be trouble!

Just 2 notes on section 4

9.43 Sounds like a “huh” before “What age is she now” - ignore if its meant to be the characters reaction
14.01 “but now insensibly” is missing

Section 5 is re-upoloaded. I had a hard time with the ethereal flights of moonbeam fancy (which James Stephens is often apt to get lost in for long stretches). Hopefully I finally nailed them. There were a few good soldier jokes too!

Section 4 is uploaded with the missing text added. It helps if you include a little text before and after the missing bit, so I'm sure its the right place, and I can record more than just the missing words, kind of like this:
she spoke of the king's majesty, but now, insensibly, she began to talk

I know too well of Stephens's flights of fancy!!

Well read Michele. Section 4 PL OK. Just 2 notes on 5 and only on the pronounciation of Éire at 11.08 and 17.50. It should be pronounced Ay-re. The Ay as in hay. Listen to British English pronounciation here https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/eire

5 should be fixed now.

Have to express an UUUGGGHHH and a GROOOSSSSS at that "head on top of a spear" scene. Gave me/gives me serious goose bumps.

The plot thickens!

Sections 5 and 6 are PL OK - nearly a third of the way through!

Jo, if you search Deirdre from the home page, it doesn't serve up this project, because the name is misspelled with the e and i inverted - Dierdre. Could you check and make sure the spelling everywhere behind the scenes is E I.

Section 7 is uploaded. Now girls just wanna have fun and talk and hold hands and such, but there are other forces working about which they know nothing at all. :shock:
