thank you, it was a shorty and is already done:

Recording time: 3:41 min.

There was again a final sentence that I left out as it belongs to the next section. I hope MoonLylith has included that one, as he was the reader for that section. The author could have made clearer cuts for the chapters

I can do another shorty, section 44. The Devil in His Cups (actually it's "his" not "her" - the devil seems to be exclusively male in these stories )

Section 063 track length with the inclusion of the paragraph atop page 222 is 40:25.
Section 065 track length is 33:40.

There are 20 occurrences of 'Mrs.' and 21 of 'Mr.' in section 065. Usually I'd expand these as 'Missus' and 'Mister'. The thing is that the young and unmarried Throckmorton daughters are at times (occasionally) referenced by the word Miss or Mistress preceding their given names and at other times (frequently) by 'Mrs.' preceding their given names. When (circa 1589 & 1715) the material from which ELL sourced was written, 'Mrs.' would have expressed 'Mistress' which of course at that time was commonly used and did not have some of the negative connotations that is it thought by some to have today (and for quite a while now). All of this is to say that I have read 'Mrs.' as Mistress with an exception or two when their mother was clearly referred to in which case(s) I said 'Missus'. I hope that's okay. I said 'Mister' for 'Mr.' except in the case of young Henry Pickering where I used 'Master' which serves to distinguish him from his father, Mister Pickering, the Throckmorton girls' uncle whose given name is not given (us). Thanks.

I can make some time to do section 083, The Huntingdon Imps, if that section is still open. Thanks.

Thanks Sonia, received and ready for PL.

MoonLylith did not include it in their section and they were marked as PL OK. If they were to have included it I think it would have been read "The Witches of Auldearne --- and now we come to THE WITCHES OF AULDEARNE and Isobell Gowdie's marvellous confessions". Since it wasn't asked for correction initially I don't know if it's appropriate we go back and ask for adjustment.

What are your thoughts Christine?

Sonia

I have assigned you section 44. And I fixed the typo, thanks!

Thank you! Received and ready for PL (65) and spot PL (63).

On the pronunciation, I appreciate the research and believe how you've chosen to pronounce the abbreviations should be acceptable as long as the meaning of the story is retained and it does not lead to confusion.

I can make some time to do section 083, The Huntingdon Imps, if that section is still open. Thanks.

It is still open. I have assigned you section 83.

do you want me to include it then ? Though the way the original reader said it sounds like a complete sentence as well, maybe it's not so important after all.

and here is the next section:

What are your thoughts Christine?

I think it would be appropriate either way; just so it is included. I also believe it was a "hook" by the author so the reader would "read on!" If you guys agree then it would be most true to record it in section 38 which is you Sonia.
Hope this helps,
Christine

Hi Nichole, This book seems very tricky to BC. Just noting a couple of things:
1. I am holding off on PL for Section 38 til you make the final decision about inclusion of text in Section 38 or 39.
2. Will you make a note in the MW that whoever reads Section 62 not read the last sentence?
Thanks so much,
Christine

[brownrottger]

Hi Brian, Section 65 is PL ok.
