So sorry, I totally overlooked this message. Thank you for joining this project! Unfortunately Syed Mohammed and Ram Chand overlap in Chapter 9, and even talk to each other. Could you please pick one? It looks like Syed Mohammed has more lines, so I assigned you him and Voice 1. I added Syed Mohammed to the group lines in Chapter 24 as well.

Thanks so much!

Here's Chapter 24 for Mr. Amritrao:

https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/passagetoindia_amritrao_24.mp3

The text says that he has "an Oxford voice", so I tried to give him a British rather than Indian accent, but I pronounced the Indian names as accurately as I could.

Current focus: Acadia, The Watsons, and Pollyanna of the Orange Blossoms

I love your portrayal of Mr. Bhattacharya! Exactly as I imagined him (but better!) :D

Some lines are missing at the end, though, pages 7-8:

MR. BHATTACHARYA: “Yes, yes, you come to us Thursday.”
ADELA: “But you’ll be in Calcutta.”
MR. BHATTACHARYA: “No, no, we shall not.”
NARRATOR: He said something swiftly to his wife in Bengali.
MR. BHATTACHARYA: “We expect you Thursday.”
MRS. BHATTACHARYA: “Thursday . . .”
NARRATOR: the woman echoed.
MRS. MOORE: “You can’t have done such a dreadful thing as to put off going for our sake?”
NARRATOR: exclaimed Mrs. Moore.
MR. BHATTACHARYA: “No, of course not, we are not such people.”
NARRATOR: He was laughing.
[MR. BHATTACHARYA: LAUGHS]
MRS. MOORE: “I believe that you have. Oh, please—it distresses me beyond words.”
[MRS. BHATTACHARYA, MR. BHATTACHARYA, MRS. MOORE, ADELA, MRS. DAS: LAUGH]
NARRATOR: Everyone was laughing now...
[MR. BHATTACHARYA: LAUGHS]

We'll be glad to hear more from Mr. Bhattacharya!

Thanks,
TJ

Mr. Haq is wonderful too, Ehsan!

There is one missing line for Chapter 9, on page 15:

MR. HAQ: “Oh that is true, how true!”

Mr. Haq says that same line earlier on page 13, so I could copy that line. But he is commenting on something else, so if you wanted to give it a little different intonation you can. I'll let you choose. :D

Thanks,
TJ

Wonderful acting! Thank you so much, Krista! I'd love to hear more of your voice, though I'm happy not to hear any more of Mrs. Callendar -- what a lovely lady... (voice dripping with sarcasm :lol: ). Thanks for providing me with a selection for the group responses. They're all great (I'll probably use them all. :D ).

Mrs. Callendar is PL OK!

Thanks,
TJ

In chapter 24, I've tried to give a few options for the group responses. Include or remove at your pleasure when editing.

Nice acting, Elijah!

I have one question about your pronunciation of "valuable" -- you say it twice in Chapter 6, and both times, it sounds to me like "venerable." If that's just your pronunciation of "valuable," then I will mark it as PL OK. :wink:

1:16
It spoiled some most valuable blossoms in the club garden,

1:30
But, Dr. Aziz, I’ll not take up your valuable time.

I really love the accent!

Thanks,
TJ
