Seven years and one day after the last update, here come some minor changes: I have checked Jacob’s Room against my copy of the first edition (reprinted in November 1922) and documented all variants. As usual, they are hidden in the code.

Great seeing you still around! Even a minor upgrade to your Woolf for the ages deserves major appreciation. Thanks.

This is staggeringly wonderful and far more accurate than anything else out there. For example, no one else seems to have noticed the typo "commerical" for "commercial" in Mrs. Dalloway. Amazing!

One small suggestion: in 09dalloway2.htm, the emendation in line 542 that inserts a period after hear her) may not be needed. The syntax of the sentence seems to say something like "The ... girl ... exclaimed ... Of course, of course" - with the upper-case O signifying the start of what she said, not a new sentence. The rest of the sentence seems to run on in an ungrammatical stream-of-consciousness way, continuing the first part of the sentence in a way that makes psychological sense, even it isn't grammatical. The emendation makes it grammatical, but it also stops the sentence after "exclaimed" without letting the sentence say what she exclaimed.

This is as trivial as can be. The whole publication is a magnificent achievement. Thank you for it.
