I am not sure what happened but I left out Chapter 8. You might want to go back and read it. There is some important information there. I am surprised no one caught this because the continuity really suffers for it. Thank you Puddingtane (I'm sorry if I misspelled that)

The history of English...
...should make us philosophical about spelling in general. Shakespeare made do with no less than twenty attested references to him with wildly variant spellings, so I'm in no position to complain, being both less famous and more likely to be using a nom de plume besides, although some few bits of it are related to reality.
Cheers,

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
--- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet (Act II, Scene 2)
Who steals my purse steals trash; ’t is something, nothing;
’T was mine, ’t is his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed.
--- William Shakespeare, from Othello (Act III, Scene 3)
