Additionally, several occurrences of unpaired quotation marks have
been corrected. Lastly, in Chapter IV a single line of dialogue (“Can
you guess what poison was used?”) was erroneously omitted. It has been
reinstated here (obtained by consulting the Orion House ebook).
Other errors, if any, in the Penguin Books edition have been left
as printed.
