Misprints and errors are indicated by an asterisk* SUMMARY OF VARIANTS The 181 commas inserted in the text of the Collected Edition increase the total number of variants between this edition and the First Edition to 953. I have designated 106 as substantive, 31 of them comprised as follows: spelling (3), punctuation (15), italics (4), number (6), order (2), and tense (1). Words are deleted in 6 places, minor except for Miriam's overly intense response to Lintoff: alone. Lintoff | alone grappling her certainties, trying to answer the voice that cried out within her against the barriers between them of language and relationship. Lintoff (CE298.36; E106.17-20); and Hypo's exclamation of charmed appreciation: Miriam; You | Miriam; the way you lift your chin, and laugh. You're wasted on yourself, Miriam. You (CE389.2-3; E243.26-28). Words are added in 10 instances, the most extensive being out towards her open window, from | out from (CE356.12; E194.20). In 41 cases words have been substituted. Most are instances of slight tinkering, but 3 insert real names for fictitious ones: M'Taggart for McHibbert (CE327.19; E150.24); Mary Everest Boole for Elizabeth Snowden Poole (CE371.13; E216.24); and Stevenson; went to the Pacific for Gourlay; went to Greenland (CE388.32; E243.14). The most significant of other changes are helplessness | hopelessness (CE237.25; E14.2), and embarrassed | encumbered (CE277.22; E74.8). The misprints and errors in CE, 10 in number, are obvious except for: and times | and timed (386.32; 240.13). The 8 errors in E are also easy to spot, except for the following which deprives five descriptive words of their object: ringed eyes, the | ringed, the (CE341.8-9; E171.11). As usual Richardson's revisions to the CE text are modest in nature. Substantive variants are marked >
