p. 220 (May 25, 1998). More than twenty-six years after she was first mentioned, (see note of November 19, 1961, p. 139) here is the first apparition of the Little Red-Haired Girl, although only as a silhouette.
p. 250 (August 5, 1998). "Buttering too loud" : see second paragraph of the note on May 28, 1961, p. 64. "Happy birthday, Amy-" : see note of August 5, 1973, p. 93.
