Hello! Here is section 32 (25:11). I'm so intrigued by everything that happens just in this chapter! Can't wait to listen once the whole book is published

Thank you for chapter 32! It's very nicely done, and I enjoyed your expressive reading style. I have just a few PL notes:

- At 1:02, "Mussoor Weishelm," could you pronounce "Weishelm" as "Wise-helm"? That will help his name be recognizable since he appears in other chapters.
- At 1:04, "They exchanged very serious bows with 'Mussoor' Weishelm," there's another instance of "Weishelm"
- And at 1:09, "In excellent French Weishelm inquired whether they desired supper"
- At 2:28, "At a small table he recognised Brandes and Stull playing what appeared to be bridge whist," you say "At a small table he recognised Brandes and Stull playing what appeared to be bridge, whilst"
- At 9:25, "'You might have told me about it,' he added to Ilse with smiling reproach," I hear "'You might have told me about it,' he adds to Ilse with smiling reproach"
- At 12:48, “Golden Beard and Ali Baba and the whole Arabian Nights!” I hear “Golden Bear and Ali Baba and the whole Arabian Nights!”
- At 19:21, "Do you mean Weishelm?" could you pronounce the name "Wise-helm"?
- At 21:11 is another instance of "Weishelm" at "And Kestner and Weishelm and Breslau and I––"
- At 24:44 is another with "Then, in the garret doorway, Weishelm appeared"

This book is quite a ride! I hope you enjoy it when it's cataloged.

Hello! I hope everyone had good holidays.

May I take Chapter 33?

Certainly, thank you for claiming! And happy holidays!

Hi Sarah, I need to request an extension. I don't know what happened with Audactity, it might have been something I did, it may have been because it crashed on me again more than once upon opening (and right after I did an update of my OS and the app). I basically need to restart from scratch.

I know we're in the home stretch. Ideally, I can have it done in 2-3 weeks.

Yikes, sorry you're having to record all over again! I'm happy to give you an extension.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I believe I've addressed all points, and new run time is now 25:09.

Thank you! There's just one quick edit to make and then you'll be all set: at 1:07, after "They exchanged very serious bows with 'Mussoor' Weishelm," could you include the line "and Curfoot retired"?

Hi Scarbo! Apologies for the delay. I have added back in the portion I accidentally cut out at 1:07. Run time is one second longer at 25:10.

PL OK! Thank you! And no apology needed, it didn't take long at all.

Here's 33, thank you for your patience. https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/darkstar_33_chambers_128kb.mp3

Thank you for chapter 33! I always enjoy your expressive readings. I have just a few notes:

- At 2:15, "began to retreat from the foot of the garret stairs with Ali Baba following," you say "began to retreat from the floor of the garret stairs with Ali Baba following"
- At 20:34, after "...were being attacked and wrecked," could you include the line "A mounted inspector forced his horse along the swarming sidewalk, crying:"?
