Page 124, "droppiing" changed to "dropping". ("My money," said Mrs.
Lesly, with unusual gravity, "has been reduced for your sake, to a very
few hundreds, a mere trifle, but my children!" exclaimed she, suddenly
dropping her pen, and clasping her hands convulsively.)
Page 127, "than" changed to "then". (... where right and wrong is
concerned; and then come second thoughts--why did she wait for them?)
Page 139, "und" changed to "and". (The gardens are very beautiful, and
every thing else in keeping.)
Page 150, "any ony one" changed to "any one". ("Well," said Miss Ware,
recovering from her slight pique, at thinking any one could succeed
where Edwin failed, "if you never use your ridicule for a worse purpose,
you will do well.")
Page 158, "siezed" changed to "seized". (Lucy Villars gladly seized the
opportunity of commencing a flirting conversation with Captain Clair,
who, being well drilled in the accomplishment of small talk, by long
practice, easily fell into a _tête-à-tête_.)
Page 163, "compostion" changed to "composition". (My dear uncle, you
should allow a prisoner to state his own case fairly--if he has not
studied Burke on the 'Sublime and Beautiful,' the 'Patriot King,' and
other models of pure English composition, you must let a poor fellow
express himself as he can, so that he speaks the truth.)
Page 164, 201 and 213, "Clare" changed to "Clair" for consistency.
(Clair bowed, and then said almost in a whisper: "Thank you, I was
wrong," and continued his narrative, after a moment's pause.)
Page 169, "n" changed to "in". (... yet, almost slothful in the attempt
to do so.)
Page 173, "hm" changed to "him". ("Oh! Lucy," cried Mabel, "how could
you be so imprudent as to go up there alone--how impertinent of him--why
did you let him take such a liberty.")
Page 187, "fee" changed to "feel". (The kindhearted very soon begin to
feel an interest in those who are thrown much with them, and, though
Lucy presented many faults to her notice, Mabel learnt to watch her with
great interest.)
Page 188, "Clari" changed to "Clair". (It soon became evident to her
that she was perfectly in earnest in her attempts to engage the
affections of Captain Clair ...)
Page 202, "answe" changed to "answer". (... which she would have fled
miles to have escaped hearing, was the only answer sentence thus given.)
Page 224, "past" changed to "passed". (Little Amy's sweet voice rings in
my ear wherever I go--such as it was when I first saw her, when she
looked up from the wild wreath she was twining, to give some kind word
to the laborers as they passed her, the morning after my coming here.)
Page 228, "forning" changed to "forming". ("Be not be too hasty in
forming your judgment," replied Clair.)
