Hi all...

I don't have my GOF brit edition with me (bought in Austria in early October of last year), but I do distinctly remember Fudge using the negation in the sentence currently being nitpicked. <g>  I've done a couple of close readings of that chapter and that just stuck in my head.
I'm assuming I have a later printing, due to the date/place of purchase, so based on all of that, I'm going to hazard the guess that someone goofed in the Brit First edition and it was corrected in later copies, like mine.

Abbie, with yet more knuts.  (Am I up to a sickle yet? <g>)
