yep, seems to be PL ok now, thanks
On a lighter note, congratulations on your Librivox anniversary, Sonia! :birthday:
oh ! thanks, I keep forgetting :lol: Though I created my forum ID in March, I didn't start participating actively until much later. Somehow I see that date more as my libriversary. (3rd June) but yes, officially I guess it's 28th March.

Here's act 4, I really tried to follow your aside advice so... fingers crossed.

Happy early libriversary then I guess, just a few months to go :birthday:

thank you, David, only one line, but it was in an interesting character...he did sound a little bit drunk, probably quite an accurate depiction. PL ok

Well that's a relief, hopefully 5 is good too then. Also wow, I was not expecting that stuff with James :shock:

no worries for Sir James, it becomes clear that he only played the part of the would-be rapist to help his friend Lord Worthy. Showing Lady Reveller what could happen if she didn't mend her ways and get married to a good man. Sir James is the good guy here, risking his reputation, and nearly his own love, for his friend.

As for your stage directions, nearly perfect too this time. Only two edits needed:

> at 4:08: (p. 255) "Sir James, to Mrs Sago" - name needs to be added here
> at 4:21: (p. 255) "aside" - here Sir James can be cut, he talks to Mrs Sago in the beginning and only the last sentence is an aside, which she definitely shouldn't hear

thanks

Ah I see, that makes a lot more sense!

At least it is an easy fix, conveniently I need to cut and add a Sir James so I just cut and pasted that one. Hopefully for the last time here is the correction.
