Nicholas, acts 4 & 5, PL OK!

Well, well, I hadn't realized it before, but it seems our drolling barber intentionally mirrors another character in the play! It's funny how little I pick up on each time through, but the puzzle pieces gradually click into place.

Thank you for a very well read Lucinda, and you did great with all the fesses!
I know (now) that this word has another meaning relevant to the play, but that's what I've taken to calling our dear confusing friend, the long s.

Just a couple things to fix, with two optional tweaks thrown in:

Act 3
@2:09, page 42, OPTIONAL, "young and -ungovernable-", I hear "ungovernorable"
@1:18, page 41, in the line beginning with "Have you no Conscience", phrase "and in -severing- us", I hear "serving"

Act 4
PL OK!

Act 5
@0:39, page 80, OPTIONAL, "-The- very same", I hear "-Aye-, very same", which is just a bit harder to follow.
@Beginning, page 78, missing line beginning with "The Sorrow and Distresses". It's tucked below the "H" box.

Thanks for your kind words and careful PLing! Here are the corrections (I bolded the one timestamp above that changed):

Well patched, and thank you for the extra detail of bolding the changed timestamp, that is very handy!

All acts for Lucinda, PL OK!

Hmm, and now I'm considering, could I take another role or two, Todd?

I'm in as Ambrosio in Act 2; may I take Montesmo, an Enchanter, in act 5?

If it's not too close together with Ambrosio, I could also take the young stripling, Lope Ruiz, Gally-Slave in act 3.

[ToddHW]

Montesmo - yes. Lope is too close to Ambrosio for now.

Thanks, Todd

I've uploaded my take for Montesmo, an Enchanter, into MW. Ready for PL, but no hurry. Happy holidays!

[ToddHW]

Thank you. Will PL once I thaw my kitchen pipes....

Acts 4 and 5 of Don Quixote await PL in the MW.

Thanks, Todd

PL OK.

Thanks, Todd

Act 5 of Don Quixote, our Knight Errant, is PL OK!

Act 4
There's one word-swap I'd recommend fixing. The pronunciation of Dulcinea, while close, is also not quite what was used in act 1. I hear dull-sin-NEE-ah, where it had been dull-sin-NAY-ah. Totally optional, just listed for convenience.

@5:58, OPTIONAL, high on page 68, Dulcinea
@5:27, OPTIONAL, mid-page 67, Dulcinea. Repeated in this same line @5:32 and @5:49.
@2:03, last line on page 60, I think it's: "for -Homicides-, Eclipses, ..."

[ToddHW]

Thank you - made all the changes you suggested, and Act 4 is ready for Spot PL.

Thanks, Todd
