d. is an abbreviation for “pence” and should be read that way.
This is in the paragraph that begins “Our early English sovereigns…”

The section is ready for PL.
You have a pleasant voice and really clear diction. I enjoyed listening to it. Excellent text reading, no corrections needed on that.

Very good on the nightingale song! When I’m PLing, I listen to the text accelerated. It was especially fun at a higher speed!

2:23, 25:18 When they’re used, footnotes need to be inserted at the point in the text from which they are referenced. By the end of the section, the listener will have no idea what “The popular name of this bird…” is referring to. You can place them exactly where they lie, or at the end of a sentence or paragraph if hearing the footnote exactly in place will be really disruptive of the thought. Just as you’ve done below, pause, say “Footnote. [text] End footnote.” and continue on. Fortunately, in this case, you can just snip it off the end and insert at 2:23.

BTW, sometimes the first post will give specific instructions on footnotes like this one does, or may say specifically not to include footnotes, or to include them all. If no instruction is given, they’re typically optional, but you can always ask in the forum. Footnotes like #13 here (i.e., a citation) aren’t usually included.

No change needed this time, but as a note, when I see “M.” (i.e. “M. Meves), I always pronounce the “M.” as Monsieur, even if the surname isn’t French. How did you choose Maister(?) for Meves? The author is a little confusing here, because he does differentiate with Mr. Wolley. What do you think?
That makes sense, thanks for the feedback. I have uploaded a new revision:

Thanks! 18 is PL OK.

I also realized when I went to put the PL OK in the Magic Window that I had never spot checked 17! I did that and it is also PL OK.

So sorry for that delay. I'm always PLing around 15 books, and every once in a while a message gets lost in the flow. I check my reader section details occasionally to make sure I haven't missed anything, but this one got by me.

Just FYI as you learn your way around: To see your reader section details, which is a list of all active projects that you have either done sections in or have sections pending, bring up your own catalog page on the Librivox catalog. A couple lines below your name, you'll see "Reader section details." Click on that to see your list. If you're PLing anything, there is also a "PL View" tab.
Cheers, VERLA

Does anyone know what the abbreviation "in imit." stands for? It occurs at the beginning of my Chameleons chapter.

I couldn't find it looking at a dozen or so academic lists of literary and Latin abbreviations. I'm guessing "in imitation," because the English there is a rough translation of the Latin.

Google gives the Latin translation as "Nothing ever was/So strange to him" which is similar to "Sure such a various creature ne'er was seen."

After looking at this some more, I wonder if it's actually an abbreviation for the Latin - in imitatio. I still have never found the abbreviation itself, but it occurred to me to look for the Latin version. There are a lot of things out there that are "in imitatio," many religious - in imitatio Christi (Dei, Mariae).

Probably either way, English or Latin, would be fine.
