2c92049821 tribute: Interesting Times
Add missing italics to several words in passage 1.

Add three new passages, bringing the total to 13.

The third one ended up being fairly long.  I made note of it
intending just the bacon joke but when transcribing I backed up
quite a ways.  The context is fairly unusual for a Discworld story.

3aacb38006 tribute: Small Gods
Add page number citations for the first two passages and add three
new passages.  That brings the total for Small Gods up to 15 which
is a bit on the high side, but they all seemed worthy.

While in there, fix a transcription mistake in Lords and Ladies #7:
"to" should be "be".

And two fixes for Jingo #11's footnote, change "genious" to "genius",
remove second "was" from "was, oddly enough, was one [...]".

Also, add a comment about the Amazing Maurice.

I've tried to bring the fixes37.0 entries about tribute fixes up to
date.  They're mostly minor and mostly neglected to include updates
for that.

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.

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.

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.
