Had to change to topic, because although I spell well and have always done so easily, I mostly want to say that I have always been attracted to AR's canon much more than to other children's adventure stories in great part because of his brilliant use of words. There are too many instances to quote, but I look forward to re-visiting my favorites in each book. Roger's word play in GN-- "Diverse Divers"-- is high on the list for me, too! This language skill is also one of the reasons I can re-read AR's books to this day. I never tire of his writing, a problem I have had with other writers.
