“houeshold” has been changed to “household” (Chapter III).
“nineeteen” has been changed to “nineteen” (Chapter V).
“Hasting’s” has been changed to “Hastings’s” (Chapter VIII).
“typwritten” has been changed to “typewritten” (Chapter XVII).
“errudite” has been changed to “erudite” (Chapter XVII).
“sayiyng” has been changed to “saying” (Chapter XVII).
Finally, two occurrences of unpaired quote marks have been restored. All other apparent errors have been left unchanged.
