Thanks!

MW all filled out

[elsieselwyn]

I realized I had failed to put quotations around Mastiffs in the title like Trollope does in the text's title page. I changed the first post, but I thought I would let you know in case you have to change anything on the back end, Amy

[alg1001]

Hi Elsie,
I did have to update it on the back end. It is all set now. I'll move you to Readers Wanted.
Have a wonderful day!

I'd love to record section 4.

I'd love to record section 4.

Sure! All yours

I'd like to claim section 2 (St. Kilda). I read a book about SK and I found this community fascinating.

I put you in the MW!

Section 2 is here https://librivox.org/uploads/alg1001/mastiffsiceland_2_trollope_128kb.mp3 duration: 15:24 I used a single digit, because there are less than 10 sections. Should I re-upload with a two-digit number, as in the template?

I read a book about the history of St. Kilda a few years ago and found the place very interesting.

Can I take section 3 now?

You don't have to reupload. I changed the template so that it is only one digit since there are less than 10 sections

You can absolutely have section 3!

Btw. I'm assuming the "Mastiffs" form is supposed to be the jocular name for the people on the "Mastiff" the ship? That's what it looks like from the
random several lines of chapter 1 that I've just read. That would explain the discrepancy between "Mastiff" and Mastiffs".

[Kaffen]

I'll volunteer for sections 6 & 7!

I visited these places in 2019, and it will be fun to contrast Trollope's impressions of Thingvallir and the Geysers with my own (and the sketches with my photos!).

By the way - how did Trollope pronounce his name? Same as in the common word with no final e?
