• Page 90: Tree-tops is hyphenated and split between two lines for spacing in the clause "watching the birds in the treetops of Elmwood." On page 245, tree-tops was spelled with a hyphen, so we kept the hyphen here. • Page 98: Stout-hearted is hyphenated and split between two lines in the clause: "the stout-hearted old pioneer could afford to bide his time." On page 84, a variation of the word includes the hyphen: "his stout-heartedness in disaster." Therefore, we retained the hyphen.
