Hi Sonia

Here is chapter 6, which if you're feeling peckish is quite a lot about cheese
Unfortunately there is also the N-word which I was totally not prepared for! But I just read it as it's in the original text, it refers to the name of the horse which I hope doesn't put in too many appearances in future!!

another excellent chapter, I'm happy that Mrs Fiander can assert herself.
Textually all ok, but I would suggest one small edit:
> at the beginning: we recommend not exceeding 1 second of silence, as it feels too long for the audio to start...you have nearly 3 seconds here, could you cut it down to under 1 please ?
As for the name of the horse...I always say it's just "words" and words as such don't do harm and definitely do not make you racist in any way. Especially not if you read them from old books. I never had any problem with reading anything like that. It was another time and should be taken as such and not reflect on our mindset nowadays. Don't be afraid of words It's actions that we should be more weary of.

So very true, that helps a lot!
I've shaved some seconds off the front of the last section (7) so it's ready for PL again. I've got a few more on the way, will try not to bombard you all at once!

now PL ok, thanks looking forward to new adventures of the missus. And yes, not all chapters at once would be nice Usually I post a section once it's done and edited and I don't wait for many chapters to finish before uploading. It's more spaced out for the DPLer then.

Thanks! Bee
ah another chapter ready, how cool. Rosalie is getting very assertive. Now I really wonder who will be Prince Charming in the end.
Excellently narrated again, no comments needed. Thank you so much. Totally PL ok.
Have a nice weekend

Enjoy!

super, another great chapter finished and PL ok. Now here I thought Prince Charming had arrived, but the painter is married with 6 kids....probably not the one who will end up with the lovely widow unless there is tragedy in his life as well.
We'll see...
Have a nice weekend

The village gossips are in overdrive at the end of this one.... ?!? Can it be true??!!
A NEW smock-frock can only mean one thing

those gossips were really hilarious to listen to. You do it great with the different voices. Well, Rosalie seems to like the old men better, so Sharpe might well be in the pictureBagpussbee wrote: βSeptember 2nd, 2022, 5:58 amhttps://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/fianderswidow_10_francis_128kb.mp3 track time 15:23

Hi Sonia, happy new year to you! Here is Chapter 10, I have one chapter already recorded that I need to edit, then I can start on the next part where I think we might see the real Prince Charming appear.. because all the other men in her life are pretty horrendous
There are two instances (but I didn't make a note of when they occurred) where it sounds like I repeat myself but it's the way it's written in the book, she sort of hesitates and says the same word twice.

happy new year to you as well. So cool you are starting up again with your solo
I noticed, but as I always read along with the text, I saw it was in the original as well.There are two instances (but I didn't make a note of when they occurred) where it sounds like I repeat myself but it's the way it's written in the book, she sort of hesitates and says the same word twice.
The men in Rosalie's life all seem to be out to marry her (or rather her farm). And the nasty trick with the cheese was very low
Absolutely PL ok, thanks
Sonia

Yes i hope she manages to sell all her lovely cheeses elsewhere!
Last chapter in part 1 is ready too:
https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/fianderswidow_12_francis_128kb.mp3 track length 13:09.
I think it's come to an expected yet slightly awkward conclusion ... so far...

hmmm it looks to me like Rosalie always wants to hook up with elderly men, who won't ask much of her in marital duties and then there's hope they quickly die off again, leaving her an even richer widow.Bagpussbee wrote: βJanuary 9th, 2023, 9:18 amhttps://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/fianderswidow_12_francis_128kb.mp3

And PL ok again...now I'm curious how this will go on.
