Here is section 13. I was getting worried that it was going to run over, but fortunately that did not happen.

It was interesting to see what was the same and what is different a hundred years later. Most of the roads are better. :)

Let me know of any changes.

Thanks,

Hi M! Another nice reading, and what a long chapter! Just a few edits please:

Around 57:08 - heard "would not have plastered his walls" should be "would not have plastered his houses"
Around 57:01 - heard "habitations to the external echoes," should be "habitations to the eternal echoes,"
Around 19:20 - repeat of "ensanguined"
Around 15:21 - repeat of "gashes"
Around 15:04 - repeat 3x of "cholla bound"
Cheers,
Claire

~~Books are like people, but usually more interesting~~
~~I'm not addicted to reading. I can stop as soon as I finish the next chapter~~

Come read!

Sorry about the repeats. I think I drifted off for a few seconds while I was editing. Of course that doesn't excuse my having the wrong words.

Attached is the revised file.

New time 1:09:35


Around 57:08 - heard "would not have plastered his walls" should be "would not have plastered his houses" 57:03 now
Around 57:01 - heard "habitations to the external echoes," should be "habitations to the eternal echoes," 56:56 now
Around 19:20 - repeat of "ensanguined" 19:14 now
Around 15:21 - repeat of "gashes"- 15:17 now
Around 15:04 - repeat 3x of "cholla bound" ouch :( :oops:

Hope it is okay now.

Thanks,

M
