[This text] uses UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding. If the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font.
The variation between “wasn’t” and “wan’t” appears to be intentional, and has not been changed. A few decorative lines
were added by the transcriber at a page break when there was no intervening illustration.
Missing punctuation is marked like this ... (larger type and lighter color) without further explanation. Almost all omissions seem to have been for reasons of space.
