[880.] dirk, dark.

[P. 27], [l. 895]. It frequently occurs in the MS. that a space is left at the beginning of a line, and the first letter of the line is omitted. It is evident that the intention was that the first letter should be illuminated, and that this, after all, was not done. Here, for instance, the T is omitted, as indicated by the square brackets. So also in [l. 1083], etc.
[897.] pasing home, go home.
[899.] was vent, had gone.
[905.] dulay, delay. So also duclar for declare.
[907.] comyne, came.
[908.] ill paid, displeased.
[909.] homly, humbly. Stevenson reads hourly, but this is wrong; see [l. 914].
[911.] carful, full of care, unhappy.
