Prooflisten to "The Wounded Name"?

luzulaI am going to record D K Broster's The Wounded Name for Librivox. If you haven't read it, it is slashy hurt/comfort set during the Napoleonic wars. I sold it to sovay like this: Waterloo happens off stage while the main characters share a bed in a cave and make anguished confessions.
Would anyone like to prooflisten for me? This is an obligatory part of making a Librivox audiobook, but it doesn't mean you have to check the reading against the text. You just have to check that each section has the correct intro/outro and that there are no obvious editing errors.
Only do this if you think you would enjoy it! You don't need to do it as a favor to me, since it's not hard to find prooflisteners at Librivox. (Though it might happen that the one who volunteers thinks Flight of the Heron has a happy ending after listening to the whole thing...)

I was momentarily very tempted to volunteer, but as you know I am a super slow proof listener ;D and The Wounded Name is pretty long, so I shouldn't let myself get carried away... Very much looking forward to listening to it when it's done!
