THE END PRINTED BY BILLING AND SONS, GUILDFORD * * * * * TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. Obvious punctuation and spelling errors repaired. Punctuation and spelling standardized when a predominant preference was found in this book. Other possible errors retained. Page 43, "the many" changed to "them any" (he'd never have hearkened to them any more). Page 164, "Georgie" changed to "Geordie" (responded Geordie gratefully). Inconsistent hyphenation was retained. When uncertain of the author's spelling of words split across lines, hyphen was retained in such words as "chimney-piece", "god-child", "cock-sure", "well-made". Words "lampshade", "mantelpiece", "grandchildren", also split across lines in the original, are not hyphenated in this text. "GEORDIE ARMSTRONG, 'THE JESU-YTE'" tale starts with subheading I, which suggests that the tale has several parts. However, there are no other numbered subheadings in this chapter.
