Cancels: conjugate leaf F1 and F8 (p. 65-66, 79-80) is a cancel (signed *F on p. 65). The reason for the cancellation is unknown, although it could possibly have been to remove the apostrophe at the end of line 5, p. 80. This apostrophe can be seen in ECL's copy of the novel in the secondary binding of this 1st edition. See Purdy, p. 20.
