You may! Start recording- I will update accordingly. Mind you, Grant has speaking parts in Chapter 32, and it isn't in the MW yet. Nick, the MW is updated, thank you for catching my mistake.

I haven't finished everything, but I thought I'd go ahead and upload a few files for Section 2:

https://librivox.org/uploads/m8b1/blackbeauty_grant_39.mp3 (0:39)

I've enjoyed the roles so far! :wink:

Oh, and if it matters, there's a text coloring mistake in Chapter 33. Its at the end of the first paragraph on page 68, where it says, "'He's the right sort for you, Jerry; I don't care what you gave for him, he'll be worth it.' Thus my character was established on the stand." The last sentence is colored for Grant, but it should be for the narrator.

EDIT: I've added a group credit to the beginning of Sir Oliver, so the new time length is 5:45.

Thank you, Twinkle! You're put into the MW. :) I fixed the text error, thank you.

No worries! We are in no rush, go at your own pace. Narrating a book with so many chapters is a lot of work, thank you for doing it! I've put all 5 in the MW, thanks. :)

Guys, I've done goofed (yet again). NolanFout has two more chapters worth of lines (Chapter 8 and 19) where you have lines! I should have noticed it earlier. I've PMed Nolan. If I don't hear from him in two weeks (he last logged in in January), Cat, if you could read his lines just for those two chapters in your narration, I would really appreciate it. You could imitate how Nolan reads, which would be funny. :) I'll send you a PM just in case you don't see this post.

This book may be my last foray into DRs, I'm not sure if I'm cut out for this life! xD

Everything is PL OK, except:

Oldest Horse (Twinkle):
- In this chapter there is a character called "Oldest Colt" and another called "Oldest Horse" - I'm afraid you read the wrong one. Could you read the purple lines for the Oldest Horse, please? :)

Sir Oliver (also Twinkle :)):
- @ 1:52 the line should be "they don't do it anymore" but I heard "they can't do it anymore", which I think changes the meaning slightly.

Black Beauty (Cat), Chapter 34:
- @ 1:15 you are missing several lines: "But what about the fighting?" said I, "was not that worse than anything else?" and "said he" and "Here old Captain paused for awhile and drew a long breath; I waited, and he went on." and "And what about the wounded horses?" I said; "were they left to die?"

Thanks!
