Marty
Checker also told me 30:08. :hmm:

What a finish. That poor woman taken in by that scoundrel.

Great job. Another enjoyable listen. This is PL OK.

Thanks,

Thanks, Todd. In MW for PL.
Waiting for a clever signature line to occur to me.

Hi Bob -

I am putting this in the MW for PL. Please notice that between forrester and 128kb you have a hyphen, not an underscore. If there is anything else you need to change in the recording after prooflistening, I'll have you upload with the correct file name. Don't change it now, though.

Thanks!

I changed perpetuated to perpetrated in the first line...in case you think I should have...the two words are reasonably distinct in connotations. regards bp

You actually did the other way around - the original text says that villany is perpetrated, which is correct. You're right, perpetuated means something different and is not what the author says here. Crime (i.e. villany) is perpretrated. (It can be perpetuated too, but again, that's not what the author says.)

The PL will comment on this and ask you to change it.

If you come across a situation like this, or anything in the text you think might be wrong, consult with the BC to get guidance. Sometimes it's an obvious minor typo. But discuss before making changes in your reading. LibriVox attempts to be as true as possible to the original text.

Notes on section 20. They are all from early on. After the first few minutes your recording was spot on.

at start please remove "this is" in "this is section 20"
0:20 delete "now"
0:28 "by Andrew Forrester" belongs here, please remove from 0:33
1:09 should be "perpetrated" not "perpetuated" in "gigantic villany is perpetrated. "
3:17 please insert "was not far" in "I may also explain was not far from the High Court of Relief"

Please repost with the corrected filename as mentioned by the BC in her notes to you.

Just need to get the intro straight and your recordings will be well done indeed.

Thanks,

M
