Occasional unpaired quotation marks were retained.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

Page [38]: "she may not be stripped" was printed as "he", but was changed here.

Page [76]: "féted" was printed that way, with an acute accent.

Page [114]: "aisles of the great church" was misprinted as "isles"; corrected here.
