The Last Chronicle of Barset, by Anthony Trollope

[The Last Chronicle of Barset is a novel by English author Anthony Trollope, published in 1867. It is the sixth and final book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, preceded by The Small House at Allington. The novel is set in the fictional county of Barsetshire and deploys characters from the earlier novels, whilst concentrating on the personnel associated with the cathedral. The main narrative thread is catalysed by the loss of a cheque which had been in the possession of the Reverend Josiah Crawley, and the subsequent reactions of his friends and enemies. Trollope drew inspiration from his father and mother in the creation of the Rev. and Mrs. Crawley.[1] In his autobiography, Trollope regarded this novel as "the best novel I have written."] (Summary by )[Wikipedia]

Nick,

In the upper right hand corner of each post that YOU have made is a little pencil. Click on that pencil and you'll be able to edit it.

I've made you the author of the first post so that you can edit it.

I'm going to move us to going solo since our team is complete.

Hi

At last we are off!

I have discovered why my recordings sounded echoey - I uploaded a new version of Audacity and, without my knowledge, it changed the microphone so it was using the mike associated with my camera. So not only was I using an inferior mike, but also I wasn't speaking into it!

Everything seems to have changed a bit, including how to edit the Solo screen!

Anyway, here is Chapter 1 - 3rd attempt - which I hope is now ok!

Yes, it is fine, and marked PL OK. I also ran it through the Checker, just to be sure, since it was the first file on a new version of Audacity.

So we're off and running!

Thanks Arlene.


I wasn't sent an e-mail to say there was a new post, so I didn't know you had checked the first chapter! I have just seen that there is a box to tick!

Here is Chapter 2

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did reading it!

Sorry for the delay. All is well here. We've been helping to move my parents into an apartment just a few blocks from me. It is quite a job to sort through 60 years of history in a single house!

Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 are marked PL OK. There is an extra "as soon" at 4:26 in Chapter 3 that I suspect you want to edit out.

These chapters are like visits with old friends.

Hi Arlene

So glad all is well with you - and how lovely that your mother will be close by.

Thanks for the correction. I have removed the offending words from Chapter3, I think, so I hope it will be ok now.

We are off to Northampton on Friday to spend a weekend seeing Chris, Amy and Felicity. They were due to come to us on their way home, after spending half-term in the West Country, but that changed so they have been in Whitby for the last week. The extra drive would have tired them all before starting back to school/ work on Monday. We shall be staying in a hotel in Northampton, because there isn't space for us to stay in their house, but it will be so lovely to see them.

Hi Arlene


Here is Chapter V.


https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/lastchronicle_05_trollope_128kb.mp3 20:19

We are off to Germany on Tuesday, for a couple of weeks, so there will be a bit of a wait before the next Chapter.

Hope all continues well with you, and your mother settles in well.

Have a great trip to Germany, and travel safely.
