Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence - Chapter 16

Mrs. Bolton knows, but covers for the stormy absence of the Lady of the Chatterley house.

With the skeptical help of her sister Hilda, Connie clandestinely meets Mellors on her last night near Wragby before leaving for a Venice holiday.

"It's the nicest woman's arse as is," is what Connie remembers as Clifford opines on the nature of spirit vs. guts. "It's the nicest woman's arse as is."

Great to be back. Lots of travel & freelance work lately, and a neighbor moves in, moves out, and another neighbor move in and continues construction across the hall. The new neighbor loves loud music. Hmmm.

Experimented with Levelator - free a Windows / Mac 10.4 compression agent. You'll hear the 'breathing' as the program adjusts levels during longer silences. Further experimented recording for the first time on the Dell PC using the similarly free and wonderful cross-platform Audacity, which is why the Levelator test became an option since overall levels changed throughout the recording as the proper audio settings were located. From beginning to end, a net reduction of 10 db in input level. That's a lot. The 'breathing' is less noticable toward the end.

Have begun to transfer all the audio files for this work to Blip.tv. Check it out. Free hosting and automated cross-posting for all your multi-media needs.

POST NOTE: Got rid of the Levelated file. The breathing and increased level overall did not match previous chapters. Alas.

Chapter 10 (Part I) - Lady Chatterley's Lover

Connie is repulsed by Clifford's worship of her, is given a key to the hut, and weeps with ecstasy at the ferocity of the female urge.

Mellors' heart flames and melts as Connie's breaks.

"Kiss me," she says, before "plunging into the dark grey tangible night."

Because Chapter 10 is quite long, it's broken into two hour-long posts. HERE is Part I of Chapter 10.

Chapter 1 - Lady Chatterley's Lover

An esteemed subscriber left a comment saying that Chapter 1 wasn't accessible. Oh dear.

After a bit of research it seems our listings at Podcast Alley, Podnova and Podcast Pickle don't include it.

Kindly excuse the repost, but it seems important for folks to be able to get all the chapters from whatever source they wish to use to listen to this fine book.

A neighbor is making repairs to his house today so I shan't be able to record Chapter 10 until tomorrow.

In further news, you'll note that UAA Audio Books has choosen to support the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive to which we plan to donate a license to this work when it is complete.

It's wonderful to be back in front of the microphone after what feels like a long hiatus. There's a remarkable soliloquy on gossip from Mrs. Bolton in this chapter that I trust you will enjoy; such fun to read aloud! Furthermore, one of my favorite lines thus far is in this chapter. See if you can figure out what it is.
