I swear this story was written for the sole purpose of Poe showing off that he knew French! But unfortunately, I do not. So the unusually large number of French sentences made this one torture to record, and I am sure it will be torture to listen to. (Not quite 9 minutes of finished product took over 36 minutes of recording, that's how much I struggled with the French, and for such a poor result...) Sorry y'all, that's the way to cookie crumbles.
