Rollo at Work
Transcriber's Notes:
The original print starts with a list of novels from the “Rollo series”. This information has been moved to the back of the book.
Unusual spellings that are used consistently have been kept as they were found in the source. Some punctuation errors have been corrected silently. All other corrections are declared in the TEI master file, using the usual TEI elements for corrections.
In particular, four asterisks that appear to be footnote marks without a corresponding footnote have been deleted.
