Now me:

I'm home with my books now, and neither my US CoS paperback edition 
nor my recently purchased UK adult version CoS paperback edition 
say "hairy chin."  My US version says "harelip" (Ch. 16, p. 297) and 
my UK version says "hare lip" (Ch. 16, p. 220).  Which edition do you 
have that says "hairy chin?"
