and another excellently edited chapter, I've been spoilt today. 8-) thank you Elijah

There is only one repeat to be cut, the rest was perfect:

> from 10:03 to 10:10: repeated line, can be cut here: "Mac's the fellow to hunt up the old stories and tell us how to dress right, and pick out rousing bits for us to speak and sing"

Here is Chapter 15 - Ear-Rings
https://librivox.org/uploads/kitty/eightcousins_15_alcott_128kb.mp3
(22:56) 89.2 dB

Notes:
2:24 I hear a bang across the word "mamma" but so quick hopefully of no consequence

referring to Annabel's friend, Hatty Mason
3:32 Annabel says "Hatty" pronounced with a long "a" as in the country Haiti
4:09 narrator says "Hatty" pronounced with a short "a" as in batty, catty, natty.
Please advise.

Really fun performance by Daria :clap:

Thanks, Carolyn! :) I think these detections are passable, but we’ll wait and see what Sonia thinks.

these are trivial deviations, and not really audible even. I think it can well pass and chapter 15 is PL ok right away. :thumbs: thank you so much for the great work Carolyn.

Thanks, Sonia! Still trying to learn what is considered OK within the LV realm. Looks like it may take awhile :lol:
So that completes my allotment of chapters to edit. Thank you so much, Elijah, for sharing the task!

I have been incredibly impressed by the acting talent of this cast and thank everyone. It was a great honor to narrate.
Special thanks to Daria and Sonia for keeping the project humming along on a daily basis. No small feat!

I will now exit stage left and wish you all a pleasant completion of this project. If at any point you need help, let me know.

Thank you for your help Carolyn, and for your work!

I would recommend maybe reading up on the PL faq / guidelines viewtopic.php?p=318667#p318667
I know editing isn't really PLing, but it's sort of similar when it comes to saying "hey, is this a PL note of a sort?" And there were some cases with the text where it did vary, but generally, some of those things listed in the faq have helped answer my questions on if it should be a note for someone to correct or not.

Thank you, Carolyn! You’ve done a fantastic job of narrating and editing, and we have been blessed to have you involved in this project! :clap:

All the best,

I ran into a couple of problems with what I put together, but I'm nearly finished with it now :thumbs:

My goal is going to be 2 or three chapters a week :D

LOL! There were only a handful of names listed because I was adding them while you were proof-listening. I was about to add the time stamp as well, but when I refreshed the screen, it had already been attached! I guess we were working on the MW roughly around the same time. :lol:

All done now. 8-)
