There is another line in GF that is in error. This line was pointed 
out to me, in a personal letter, I think. I am not sure if it was 
mentioned in early posts or not. I also do not remember who first 
told me about it ... an English teacher, perhaps? My memory for names 
is terrible and I can not find the letter. If you know who you 
are ... help!

Anywho ... the line is in GF and it is on page 712, Parting of the 
Ways in US:

"Time is short, and unless the few of us who know the truth do not 
stand united, there is no hope for any of us."

the line is in GF and it is on page 618, Parting of the Ways in UK:
"Time is short, and unless the few of us who know the truth stand 
united, there is no hope for any of us."

This time, the UK edition is the one that makes the most sense.

Doreen as told by someone whose name slips my mind, who told it to me.
