On the last line of the poem A Good Play by Stevenson is the word "one" missing? Should the line read, "so there was no one left but me."
Thanks for any clarrification.

Yep! If you knew how many times we read over that, you'd wonder how we missed it!

Those editing eyes of ours grow weary sometimes, I guess, and the mind just puts the missing word in there automatically.
Blessings,
Carrie

That was my error - I reread and reread when I am editing, but there are always still some mistakes. I am always humbled by this, as I am reminded yet again, that I am not going to be able to catch it all no matter how hard I try. That will be one to change next time around.
In Christ,
Julie

Thank you both for clarifying. Typos are understandable. I just want to make sure I've got it correct in my book. Is there a place on the website where you have corrections noted or where we could add things as we find them?
Also, I'm now looking in Beyond - Unit 6 - The Months. Shouldn't it be "fills the
children's hands with posies" - need to add the apostrophe to childrens.
Thanks a bunch.
