Tatiana,

Thank You for Chapters 14 and 15.

Chapter 14 is PL OK.

Chapter 15 has a bit more background noise. Please run it through a round of noise reduction/removal.

It is the same length. I ran it through noise reduction again, if it's still a problem I can very easily re-record it since it's so short.

Tatiana,

Much better, section 15 is PL OK,

May I have Chapter 32 - What to Make of Bananas, Oranges and Apples?

(also, small question: how should I approach the captions underneath the drawings?

Here is a section for reference:
"It will float, too, and ride safely the roughest waves of the bathtub sea. As it is perfectly water-tight, Miss Dolly need have no fear of wetting her dainty skirts as she sits in the bottom of the boat.
drawing
Fig. 577.—Cut an orange exactly in half.
drawing
Fig. 578.—Carefully remove the pulp.
Cut an orange exactly in halves like Fig. 577. Slide the blade of a penknife around the edge, loosening the pulp from the skin, then cut the pulp in quarters and remove it piece by piece as in Fig. 578. When all is taken out you have your little boat (Fig. 579) and your orange besides."

So would I read it as "...bottom of the boat. Fig. 577 -- Cut an orange exactly in half. Fig. 578. -- Carefully remove the pulp. Cut an orange exactly in halves like Fig. 577. Slide the blade.."
or would I skip the captions until they're relevant like "...bottom of the boat. Cut an orange exactly in halves like Fig. 577 (Fig. 577. -- Cut an orange exactly in half.) Slide the blade..." Or would I ignore the captions all together?)

Thank you so much!

Henry,

We skip pictures and captions entirely.

We do read references to captions in the normal flow of text.

You can download one of the completed sections that is marked "PL OK" and listen to it in order to get familiar with how that flows.
