I don't suppose this would help a proofreader, but as a submitter who does preproof I have found that quite often when I encounter a scanning error that I just can't figure out I can just make Open Book rerecognize the page and it clears up.

It turns out that the scanner/ocr saw muffle and produced mume; changing ffl into m. 
Go figure.
It's that sort of thing that challenges scanner and proofreading volunteers.

    While proofreading Bso-circle-of-gold I ran across this line.

    I hope someone can determine what the word mume really is. I have
    mume in red and bolded as a help.

    Toni is speaking very quietly on the phone to Mattie with friends
    in the background who are not supposed to hear.

    Toni tried to *mume* a giggle.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
