Tomorrow is the 12th anniversary of my joining LibriVox

belated congrats 12 years is a long time

As for your story, oh, how tragic. But how could this man raise the child before him Excellently narrated, only one small bit missing:

> at 0:31: could you please repeat "Section 5" before the title here ?

the rest was perfect, thanks

Here is section 3: https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/blackcat0402nov1898_3_various_128kb.mp3 (30 mins, 7 secs)
A very long one but it had such a strong opening I just had to see where it went

woah, yes this beginning was very powerful. Buried alive is an unthinkable horror a really gripping story and with a happy ending. Though I would have loved to hear more about the group that actually made the imprisonments and their motivations.

But excellently read, I only found one small error which would benefit from correcting:

> at 14:33: (p. 30) "or otherwise displease" - you say "displeasure"

thanks

now that one was a funny story yes a small typo can have a big meaning change ! a wonderfully entertaining story. Thanks

Just two small edits:

> at 9:14: (p. 19) "of the usual allusions to the weather" - you say "unusual"
> at 17:11: (p. 22) "partly from fear that the old fiend's scheme" - you say "man", probably optional, but maybe "fiend" is more powerful in this context

And I agree, it was good but I felt like it could've benefited from being a bit longer and given time to flesh things like that out a bit more.

Oh and welcome back! I hope you had a nice trip

The Pillow of Justice? Sounds like a Mike Lindell-financed superhero movie.

Or something that the Spanish Inquisition may use upon you while you are seated in the comfy chair!

indeed, reminds me of the old action movies set in India and other exotic places. An intriguing story and very engagingly narrated, I loved it. Thanks

A few small edits to make still:

> from 0:24 to 0:31: the footnote can be cut, no need to include this, as it's not part of the story

> from 5:06 to 5:07: (p. 3) between "sword out of his hand" and "dagger out of his sash" - considering it's all one sentence, this silence feels a bit long and makes the sentence sound strange grammatically

> at 9:32: (p. 5) "which had so tormented him" - you say "tortured"

> at 14:09: (p. 8) repeat, can be cut "his eyes were shifty and his mouth a little cruel but these expressions are not unusual"

> from 29:04 to 29:06: between "and his beautiful wife" and "end of section 1" - maybe the long silence can also be cut a bit here
