Dear Percy-L:
This is a repost for Leslie Marsh.

=============================

From Leslie:
Why does the hardcopy and the ibook of Lancelot differ? Who felt it within their remit to tamper with the original?

Original: As punctually as Kant setting out for the university at exactly six o’clock so that shopkeepers along the way could set their watches by him, it had been my custom to arise at exactly nine o’clock, hung over, mouth scammed, breath foul, hands atremble, stagger to a cold shower, and, of late, take a drink.

ibook: As punctually as Kant setting out for the university at exactly six o’clock so that shopkeepers along the way could set their watches by him, it had been my custom to arise at exactly nine o’clock, stagger to a cold shower, and, of late, take a drink.
