Ronny Heaslop, Chapter 3

There are still some corrections to be done for Chapter 3 (and some new ones).

0:26 The word is "decent" (I hear "descent"); Missing word: "the"
“It’s decent of the Burra Sahib,”
(Check pronunciation here:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/decent)

1:20
—told all the litigants,
(Please pronounce "litigants" like this: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/litigant )

2:05 The line reads “Been there when?” (I hear "been where then?)

2:30
You left out the "n" in Chandrapore
I know of no young doctor in Chandrapore.

3:01 page 10 The word is "mosque" (I'm hearing mos-quay
(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/mosque)

3:10 page 10 -- Missing word: "it's"
In sentence: No, it’s not their prayer time.

3:29 page 10 -- Skipped word "to" between oughtn't and have
In sentence: You oughtn’t to have answered.

3:56 page 11 -- pronunciation of "crooked"
it would be tiresome if she started crooked over the native...
(please pronounce "crooked": https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/crooked)

4:07 page 11 -- The pronunciation for Ganges sounds like gangs but I think the pronunciation is more like gan-jeez
In sentence: “There’s your Ganges.

4:14 "where" (I hear "there")
it was where the new sand-bank was forming,

4:19 "ravelled" (I hear "riveted"); "at the top was" (I hear "over the")
the dark ravelled bit at the top was the sand,

4:23 -- extra word "the" before "Benares"; "let" (I hear "left")
the dead bodies floated down that way from Benares, or would if the crocodiles let them.

4:41 "conceivably" (I hear "convincingly")
to report suspicious characters and conceivably it was some disreputable hakim who had prowled up from the bazaar.

4:58 page 12 --
the fellow’s name must be Aziz,
(Please pronounce "Aziz": ah-ZEEZ - emphasis on second syllable, long "e")

5:33 "Major" page 12
The Major will be interested.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/major

5:40 page 12 -- Missing word "was"
In sentence: I wonder what was the aim of the remark.

5:51
RONNY: “If the Major heard I was disliked by any native subordinate of mine, I should expect him to pass it on to me.”

6:17
pronunciation of "major"
“He abused the Major in order to impress you.”

6:37 "with" (I hear "than"); "itinerant" pronunciation
They think it will pay better with the itinerant M.P.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/itinerant?q=itinerant+
(itinerant: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/itinerant)

6:52 "in plain" (I hear "it's plain that the")
and if nothing else he’s trying to increase his izzat—in plain Anglo-Saxon, to score.

7:24 Ah-ZEEZ (emphasis on second syllable)
“In return please don’t talk about Aziz to Adela.”

Thanks!

Note: I wasn't sure about what was wanted for the surprise and outrage reactions in section 24. I can redo them if you want something else.
Thanks, Elsie!

Mr. Das is PL OK!

Excellent portrayal of his competence, professionalism, and authority in Chapter 24, and his human side in Chapter 30.

Thanks, DC!

I've finally got around to a scream, more than a shriek. Feel free to not use it.

Ha! Fielding really is terrified of bees! (I laughed out loud!) I'll definitely use it. :lol:

You didn't make the other 2 edits I suggested, but I'm not so sure if they are necessary. What do you think?
benderca wrote: January 22nd, 2023, 3:55 pm I also have some tiny notes for Fielding Chapter 35:
0:00 p. 4 - Care to try you hand at some shrieks? :lol:
[FIELDING & RALPH: SHRIEK AND RUN AWAY FROM THE BEES]

0:14 p. 5
“I suppose a couple of stings don’t signify.” (I hear "stignify" instead of "signify")

0:44 p. 6
MISSING WORD: "out" - this doesn't really change the meaning, but the word "of" is also a bit hard to understand.
FIELDING: “Are you making anything out of your life here?”

OK. It should be fine now. I did not alter signify since it sounds fine to me, but the other I did.

Question : In dramatics works, is it necessary to provide run times when we read for different characters?

With this, I think I've covered all my sections.
