- p. 23: "Do you rembember on what occasion?"--Changed "rembember" to
"remember".
- p. 32: Two lines of dialogue ("Yes, I." and "Do you wish me to tell
you why you have come into this province of Sartène?") have been
combined into one line. The French text, which does not have a line
break, reads: "Eh! mon Dieu, oui, moi. Voulez-vous que je vous dise ce
que vous êtes venu chercher dans la province de Sartène?"
- p. 33: ...you can tell us when you leave, if you wish, if not, you
need not inform us...--Changed comma after "wish" to a semicolon in
keeping with the French text.
- p. 34: "...The mischief arose between the Orlandi and the
Colona.--Added a closing double quotation mark.

- p. 71: "Well, then," said he, "let us embrace. I can only deliver
that which I am able to receive."--The quoted dialogue appears to be
spoken by the narrator even though the translation ascribes it to
Lucien. The French text reads: "Eh bien, alors, embrassons-nous; je ne
puis rendre que ce que j'aurai reçu." The dialogue tag "said he" and
the punctuation marks used to set off the dialogue tag have been
deleted so that the translation more accurately reflects the French
text.

Renaud,"--Changed comma to a period.
