#10. "RE: Alert -- To the Far Blue Mounta" In response to In response to 8
Simply changing the name of the stowaway, possibly to an actual historical figure that fits the time period, would be the least disruptive edit. And would be in keeping with LL's established penchant for sprinkling historical figures into his works.
A fun (but easily dismissed) edit suggestion would be to make the character a Trelawney, which family was connected historically to Falmouth. And were Baronets, close enough to nobility.
