And for Chapter 21, I would suggest Part 1 to end with "The position for the polka, redowa, and other round dances, should be the same as that for the waltz, and for the steps, they can only be acquired from a dancing teacher, and are impossible to describe properly." where the discussion on dancing is concluded, and Part 2 to start with "One of the most delightful accomplishments which a lady can possess, and one which is unfortunately but little cultivated, is the art of reading aloud well;" as it's a change of subject. That would make Part 1 roughly 7800 words and part 2 roughly 6700 words. It is a bit unequal but I think it's a good spot, because of the change of subject discussed. Up to you of course! Or you can leave it up to the Reader

Ok, thank you!

So, I will call it "chapter 27, Receipts part 1" and "chapter 27, Receipts part 2" unless someone objects.
(What does it mean by receipts, anyway?

I feel like it should be recipes
edit:
I looked it up. It was indeed called a receipt back then.)

Hi Shelly! I'm out of town for a couple of days. Just wanted to let you know so you're not worried that feedback is a bit late.
Keep calm and carry on recording

Hi Shelly! This is PL OK! Just a note on filenaming for your future uploads, the ## in the filename is the section number, so it's the place they have in the Magic Window not necessarily the chapter number. This one was section 28 but don't worry, the MC can fix this at cataloguing. The next part will be section 29

Oops. Thanks!

Question: there are a bunch of transcribers notes at the end of the book, many of which don't really apply to the audio version. Is it OK to omit these?

Post by **alg1001** » March 10th, 2024, 11:45 am

Hi Shelley,
Yes, those should be skipped. They are basically FYI for anyone reading the text and like you said have nothing to do with an audio version.
Thanks,
Amy

Thank you Amy and Rapunzelina. Here is section 29 for PL
