A repetitive sentence on p. 46 (Then she became stupid, although neither sad nor happy. Then, she claimed, she got stupid, but neither sad nor happy.), and two spaced em-dashes on p. 87 have also been retained. Minor punctuation errors (e.g. missing period, missing close or open quote where intended placement is clear) have been corrected without note. The abbreviations “p.m.”, “e.g.” and “i.e.” have been standardized, with no space.]
