The joy of a typesetting day and remembering to put in my now obligatory disclaimer (The vast majority of America readers are entirely lovely, and not thrown by British anachronisms and spellings, but you would be surprised how often the odd reader complains about 'typos' that aren't typos)

no context lines I have written this morning 'I had to assure him I was not questioning the veracity of his offal'
