A Call: The Tale of Two Passions, by Ford Madox Ford (1873 - 1939)

The story of an English gentleman's relationship with two women. Ford's themes are reminiscent of Henry James: the tensions between desire and social conventions and expectations; the dilemmas when personal moral values are challenged by life's unexpected turns and tribulations. (Summary by Anthony Ogus)

You don't have a tilde to indicate you need a DPL, but if you are looking for one I would like to do it.

[KiltedDragon]

I will MC this for you; MW all set to go.

Here we go then - Section 1 posted. Please note that although the Gutenberg text ascribes the book to Ford Madox Heiffer, I have used the name which he changed to (Ford Madox Ford), since he is better known under that name. The Gutenberg catalogue lists the book under that name.

You need to put in the MW "Title" field, not the title of the book, but what the section contains. So section 1 should say, "Part I, Chapter 1." Sections should also be identified that way in the intro, where the intro template says, "Section title." I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that. I've put Section 1 back to See PL Notes

Sec. 2 intro (and title field) should say, Part I, Chapter 2. Etc.
Just one other thing in this section,
6:46
“…as her sister Ellida said…” : Ellida pronounced the inconsistent way.
In paragraph beginning “But there was no knowing…”
