Given the small number of changes required, I agree we should make them.] |

| (er) | 133: | [Krafen [18-04-2010]: On page 133 of The Kingdoms of Terror, a sentence reads "We've heard noises in the "Hell-hole" late at night,' he says guilefully, 'horrible noises." I don't think "guilefully" is a word, and if it were it would mean deceptively, which doesn't make sense in context. I suspect the word should be "gleefully."] [so: The original wording is "guilefully", which is definitely a real word. Its use here is rather odd, though; I'm not wholly sure what Joe is trying to say.] [dd: DD: yeah, I sorta took it to mean 'craftily' or 'wilily' ... I assumed it was also meant to imply it was said with some relish... it is a bit obscure... "gleefully" might possibly be more apt... also 'balefully'? I don't thing it's necessarily needing to be changed.] [tp: I think "slyly" is a good substitute, if it must be changed. "Guile" doesn't have to mean "lying", but it certainly indicates a degree of cunning and concealment that seems out of place with describing someone talking /to/ Lone Wolf. (If Lone Wolf were /hearing/ a conversation and knew somebody was telling a clever lie, I would have no problem with that being said "guilefully".) "Sly", on the other hand, encompasses hinting, implication and innuendo, even humour -- which is what I think is implied here.] [jb: I'm pretty sure guilefully doesn't really make sense here (why is the Ogron trying to deceive?), but it's hard to know what really was intended here. I think grimly, wryly, darkly, and mysteriously all make sense.] |
