d7be7031a1 Discworld: Sourcery
Include the page number for Sourcery's second passage.  While
in there, add another passage.

For wishing, recognize "sorcery" as an alternate spelling.

9870399435 tribute bit: Sourcery passage 4
Fix a mistake that led to a bad fix for a perceived mistake that
wasn't really there.

I think having a comma after "moment" would make things clearer,
but style-wise that's optional and leaving it out restores the
book's original wording.

0a5852291e Typo (Hogfather)
One typo in a quotation from Hogfather; I have checked (Corgi edition (13th printing?), 1997, page 310) and corrected it to match the original.

c5d089f5e5 tribute typo: Jingo #2
Reported directly to devteam; transcription typo:  had "Vines", should
be "Vimes".

I double checked that long passage and found two other mistakes:
"proffered" was misspelled with 2nd 'r' doubled,
| 'Quoted statement,' someone said.  'Another statement.'
lacked the opening quote on the second sentence.

My source uses double quotes (normal American usage).  I'm not sure
why the passages which refer to it--the page number annotations
specify that same source--were transcribed with single quotes (normal
British usage), but I've left those as is.

The sentence with "Vines" was also separated from the previous one by
a single space when nearly everything in dat/tribute uses double space.
A quick regexp search found half a dozen or so other instances of that.
This fixes those but the searching wasn't rigorous and it's sometimes
ambiguous whether an elipsis or long dash constitutes the end of a
sentence before another starts or is just in the middle of a long one.

Misspelled "genius".  Typo in the transcription, not in the book.

380a2d2848 fix #H9100 - typo in Mort #4
For "They look at you but the don't see you", "the" should be a second
"they".  Simple transcription typo rather than a mistake in the book.

0ee4611f8f tribute: Wyrd Sisters
I stumbled across why the Death Quotes hadn't been getting displayed
evenly before being recycled:  ones I've added since 3.6.0--probably
even before the release--were unintentionally missing their '%e passage'
directive, so attempted look-up for those returned the very last one
(terminated by '%e title').  The recent change to read_passage() has
made '%e passage' be optional for one-line death quote passages, so
this patch doesn't bother putting them in.

fbdeaae286 tribute: Equal Rites revisited
The number of passages felt a little light, so split one of the
long-ish ones into two.  The punchline that now ends the first one was
being watered down by continuing the text, and an interesting bit that
was left out can be added to finish the second part.  They both lose
some context but I think they work ok separately.

f5b5a428c1 fix #40171 - tribute typo for The Colour of Magic
Passage 1 of the Colour of Magic:  'bazaars' was misspelled 'bazarrs'.
There were a couple of other things that didn't match the paperback copy
I recently recovered from loan:  'radiation' should be 'radiations', and
'dark' was omitted from 'a tall dark figure'.

Unlike the later Harper editions, the early Signet ones retain British
spelling (at least for 'colour').  I failed to find the second passsage
via flipping through the pages, so wasn't able to proof-check that one.
