Hi Betty,
I think there is something wrong with the source text you have. It seems to be a bad link.
Here is one you could use:
https://archive.org/details/landsofandesdese00carp_0
Thanks,
Amy

I think part of the problem may be that there is an extra a on the URL on archive.

Can you eliminate that? I can't seem to do it.

That may be why i am being asked to say I am not a robot and also potential malware.

Betty

Note:

I think that was it and its been fixed.

Sections 1 and 3 are pl ok. I tried to listen to 2, but it seemed to be the same file as section 3. I'll check again when I'm on my computer (now im on my phone)

Fixed the link on section 2 and am listening now.

Would you please check section 7 for a repeat at 15.13 - but it was enforced.
