The Scarlet Pimpernel Read Aloud Chapters 1-3: feat. laughter/technical difficulties/french mispronunciation!

 


Hello there, everyone! 

Today marks a very special day, the day when we launch our Read Along!!

A bit of behind the scenes talk is in order before we proceed. In our announcement post we mentioned wanting to show you our sukkah since this week is Sukkot, but alas due to technical difficulties we are unable to video it, so here are a few photos of our tent!!


We set up our tent on our back porch since it's the flattest place.


Here are our comfy beds; we drag out our mattresses and fluffy blankets.


Ahh, so cozy!



And now without futher ado.... ze video!



Well, what did you think of these chapters? How do you pronounce Bibot? WHAT IS THAT MAN'S NAME FROM SENSE AND SENSIBILITY???? How were our narrating abilities?  Cood ye undarstant us kitchen wenches?? I think one of my (Katherine here) favorite parts was Grace's reading the line - 'Mr. Harry, he be thirsty too'!  Her cockney accent was so hilarious there!  Hee Hee!

Give us your feedback.  We shall see you next week with the next three chapters!
