I would love to hear you read the passage where the governess leaves her room in the early dawn hours, and meets Quint on the staircase. Starting with the part where she is in her room, reading "Amelia" by candlelight, when she hears something somewhere in the house...

[dsbuchalter]

@Dix994 Thank you for the suggestion. I will certainly keep this passage in mind and try to make that recording as soon as time allows. At the moment I'm very bogged down with school assignments, but your request just helps me have the energy to work through them faster. It's a great story, isn't it? I was just thinking about Jamesian candlesticks yesterday, too...

LOL @ bringing a date along.

Solid reading. Great inflection. Good editing too. 5 stars.

[dsbuchalter]

Thank you kindly. I'm glad somebody appreciates a dry (fruit) sense of humor.

who thought someone was going to come out from that door?

[Dix994]

@dsbuchalter I know, I know, I am a student myself, and it can take up a lot of your time. I should be studying right now, as a matter of fact....

I used to be a pillar candle person, but now I am tapers all the way. I think the light is better, and they are much more romantic...

I love the Facebook group -- I've just posted a vlog on "The Turn of the Screw" and its finest cinematic interpretation on my YouTube channel.
