endnote n.203: the sic note

Endnote 203 in its six-word entirety, hanging off the sign of "one 'Antitoi Entertainent'" — the brothers' shop, missing its m — in scene 097. The narrative apparatus itself turns prescriptivist: the endnote's only job is to certify the error as faithfully transcribed and to hesitate, philologically, over its taxonomy (misspelling or solecism, English failure or French interference). The book sic-ing its own world.
