This story[edit]

Undercover or under cover ?[edit]
In the sixth paragraph, there is the phrase "the slip of blue paper which, undercover of the pathetic Magyar love-songs," - it seems to me that would make more sense as two words "under cover". Looking at the original, I find it impossible to tell - that line is tightly packed, there is hardly any separation between paper and which or cover and of. -- Beardo (talk) 07:03, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
