Illustration by Roland Pym for the Folio Society Edition, London (1992)
I love literature and I love English language, which is my second language.
When reading a good book, I always buy the best edition I can afford and match it with the audio book from audible.ca. This time around the narration available from audible.ca for this particular book was not easy to understand (for me, of course). So, I was frantically looking for something on KZfaq. Finally, I found one from the kind person referenced above, but the narration was too fast and the whole book was uploaded in one episode, making it hard to get back to the very chapter you stopped at. Revisiting my favourite moments were impossible too.
This is why I took the already posted narration, lowered its speed and broke it into chapters. It was a lot of work and I thought sharing it with others, who - like me - love English language in general and Nancy Mitford in particular.
Sincerely,
Tatiana Terekhova

18:49 "... "Just a narrow edging of white -' I heard Cedric say, through the open door, as they came down the passage. Later on I remembered to ask Alfred what could have led up to this remark, so typical of Cedric but so untypical of the conversation in that house, and he replied that they had been having a most fascinating talk on burial custom in the High Yemen........ The fact was that Cedric could bring out edgings of white to suit all tastes."

22:25 "... and that he lived in the perfect welter of parties,.... 'Isn't she wonderful? You know, she's seventy - eighty - ninety - ' her age went up by leaps and bounds. "She's a darling, so young, so decision, I do hope I shall be just like her when I'm a hundred." So Cedric had transformed her from a terrifying ild idol of about sic sty into a delicious young darling of about a hundred."

21:16 "... He always scorned any regime for health except the one he happened to be following himself, regarding all others as dangerous superstitions imposed on gullible fools by unscrupulous quacks. " Quack - шарлатан.
