Short Mystery and Suspense Collection 16

We are back with the 16th Librivox Short Mystery and Suspense Collection! Readers are invited to select and submit mystery or suspense stories of less than about 60 minutes. The collection will be closed when we have 15 submissions. Please ask if you have concerns about Public Domain status.

Source text Readers are responsible for finding their own Public Domain text. For clarification of what "in the Public Domain" means read https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Copyright_and_Public_Domain. Try to stay with works that run less than 60 minutes [74 minutes is the absolute max]. There is no need to sign-up before recording, as long as the work is clearly in the Public Domain. But please note: Wikisource CAN NOT be used as a source. See "Our policy on text sources."

The Adventure of the Cardboard Box

~13:53 I hear "There are objects to the joke theory, no doubt," should be "There are objections to the joke theory, no doubt,"
~14:05 The town is pronounced "Penj" -- you said it correctly earlier, so it is obvious that you changed it
~30:56 Repeat "something like Aldrige,"
~37:00 Repeat "He was good company"

I have changed the into to match the collection, and edited out the stumble at the end. Thank you for changing it. I think it is better here.

I will probably have to make a correction, as the instructions say ""Short Mystery and Suspense Collection 15. Name of story by author." and Even though I know this is Number 16, I cut and pasted the instructions, and read what was there. There MAY be other corrections too, So, I would prefer to do all of them at once.

Anyway Emjoy
