- I knew something like this would come. ;-P I don't suppose they have any djvu files out there, do they? No? I thought not. —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 18:27, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- I've clearly tried to be too clever by far and genuinely do not know what you are looking for... pirates[ln 1] or palæobiology, or...? May I suggest starting again sans the cryptic (Ha! says me!)

- To tell the truth, even I don't know what I am looking for. I do what I can for now. Any suggestions, please? (And no, pirates are shelved for now.) —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 05:01, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
- Gasp! Even the Pirates of Penzance?! --EncycloPetey (talk) 05:25, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
- Well, not those pirates... thanks for reminding me about that, though. ;) —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 05:37, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Umm. Apologies for being so slow to notice this, but were you aware the above index is linked to Love Among the Chickens? The former is the 1909 edition, and the latter 1921. This would not be so great an issue, except the detail of the text appears to be hugely different, in the sense that quite different wording is used to relate essentially the same plot. Did you have plans how to resolve this, or have I stumbled across a complete non-sequitur? AuFCL (talk) 13:53, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
- I have created a bare-bones record for Armand Both, and included a tentative link back to Love Among the Chickens (which for I hope obvious reasons does not [yet] exist). I am mentioning this so that perhaps either one of us remembers to update the link should the book eventually be transcluded to a different location. Hope this is O.K. with you.

- Thanks for reminding me. :) I had linked the chapter pages as sub-pages of Love Among the Chickens (New York: 1909) which I am creating now. The 1921 edition, according to Wikipedia, was a re-write of the 1909 version, apparently, which is why the texts don't match. Poof! I feel quite exhausted. Thanks for validating that book. Wodehouse was a genius. :D —Clockery Fairfeld (ƒ=ma) 14:27, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
