Laura, I was looking ahead through the book, making a note of chapter titles, when I found a corrupt page in the pdf from archive.org. It's in the chapter "A Night With Thieves". I found a copy on google books, and saved the missing page as a jpg.
Here's the google books reference:-
https://books.google.ca/books?dq=it+was+marvelous%2C+humour&hl=fr&id=QzQCAAAAQAAJ&lpg=PA17&ots=vIkxwycMHp&pg=PA17&sa=X&sig=ACfU3U1aQ1oqKimc_Xj1dfLf-xLoFH68CQ&source=bl&ved=2ahUKEwj3jqyyhbTnAhWDY98KHYnPCqcQ6AEwC3oECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false
I saved the jpg in the librivox non-project folder as a zip file, as the uploader won't accept jpgs. I slipped up with the file name, though; it should read "pdf 451, text 424"

Laura, I thought I'd get that chapter out of the way, so I've recorded and uploaded chapter 35 out of sequence.
pdf pages 445-452 / text pages 418-425 - A Night With Thieves

I agree .. from nine or ten years old! ... though we have them now, too ... for different reasons, though.

Thanks, Laura. I've uploaded chapter 22: Half an hour in a servants' registry office (pdf pages 318-344)
I had to upload twice, as the first attempt gave an error .... but the second upload was very fast, so there may still be a problem.

The second upload took just fine. Chapter 22 had an interesting cast of characters.
I don't know that the following note needs a change but I'll make mention of it in case:
~33:30 'Let me see' is missing from, "Let me see, you was only there four months- was not that all?" (page 312 of text)

Thanks, Laura.
Yes, it was an odd series of interviews. I liked the narrator's sympathy with that maid being interviewed by the spinster. I've added a little to the summary on the first post, to mention his middle-class viewpoint.
Chapter 22 edited and re-uploaded. I still had Miss Primworthy's aup file; I must have chopped that fragment off when I was editing her into the main file.

I've not looked at the next chapter yet; it's certainly an attractive chapter title!
Thanks for catching the error. Chapter 22 edited and re-uploaded. [EDIT: Chapter 23]
