- p. 5: WHITE. (L. C.) Most acutely! _wringing his hand_)--Inserted an opening parenthesis before "_wringing_". - p. 11: (_some of the COMPANY pass across at back of C. doors, from, L. to R._)--Deleted the comma after "_from_". - p. 14: DE W. (_aside_) Why, Mr. Pawkins, what's the cause of this singular hurry?--Pawkins' and Whitewash's subsequent lines indicate that both hear De Windsor. Therefore, the direction indicating that this line is an aside was deleted. - p. 17: Gov'nor can't be coming the old soldier!--Changed "Gov'nor" to "Gov'ner" for consistency. - p. 18: Tango will have my daughter. ha, ha, ha!--Changed the period after "daughter" to an em dash. - p. 18: Mr. De Winter, allow me to remark--Changed "De Winter" to "De Windsor" for consistency. - p. 19: They say we were found in a cupboard at three o' clock in the morning.--Deleted the space before "clock" for consistency. Note that Thwaites re-enters on p. 21 when he delivers a letter to Whitewash, but there is no stage direction for Thwaites to exit after Pawkins tells him to "drop Miss Jemima" on p. 20. He could exit either at the end of Pawkins' speech or when De Windsor apologizes to Pawkins. End of Project Gutenberg's Retained for the Defence, by John Oxenford
