Saki's The Open Window, second to last line reads: "Enough to make anyone their nerve.” Shouldn't that be "Enough to make anyone lose their nerve.” ?

Otherwise, a hilarious little story.

It's not found in the Project Gutenberg copy; most paper copies Google Books has have "lose", though one--which looks like it might have been printed from the PG version--is missing it. Google Books doesn't have a 1914 edition, so I can't be absolutely positive, but I'm going to add it back in on the presumption, supported by most paper copies, that it was a PG error.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I checked it against [1], and our text was indeed in error.--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
