Talk:And Then There Were None/@comment-1628620-20151116053831

In the interest of nitpicking:

--in at least one edition of the novel, General MacArthur, in the first chapter, mistakenly wonders if *Armstrong* had talked about what happened to Arthur Richmond (Doctor Armstrong is introduced in the next section). In the rest of the book, the talkative officer is named Armitage.

--the changing of the title and the name of the island from their originals led to an odd non sequitur which was not addressed until the St. Martin's Press edition in 2001. In the original text, in Chapter 2, Judge Wargrave thinks to himself, "Nigger Island, eh?  There's a nigger in the woodpile." Subsequent editions changed the first sentence to "Indian Island, eh?", but kept the second sentence intact; it was only with the St. Martin's edition that the second sentence was changed to "There's a fly in the ointment."
