(er) 22: murderously chilling -> chilling [??]
[jb: I'm not sure what this language is supposed to mean, but "murderously"
seems to add flavor.]
I can't get the phrase to make any sense to me at all.
(er) 170: a' skirtin' -> a-skirtin' [??]
[jb: I'm not positive what a' is short for, but it seems to read better with the
apostrophe than with a hyphen.]
I read it to be related to "a-plenty" or "a-piece" (as used in a couple of other
books).
(er) 227: Why you sly -> Why, you sly
[jb: I can see why this might be useful here, but is there a rule that can
justify it?]
'you sly dog' is being used as a direct address (e.g. Why, Cal . . .)
(er) 307: If you have a missile weapon, and wish to use it -> If you wish to
return fire with your missile weapon [jb: How seriously do we want to entertain
the idea that the player has dropped their missile weapon alread?]
I suppose they might have, true.
