I'd bum the lot


John Galsworthy

I recently bought the collected works of John Galsworthy for my Kindle. The publisher is Delphi Classics who do a really good job with classic collections and give tremendous value for money. I have quite a few.

However, some typos are so obvious I wonder how they were missed.  

We are all ready to alter our opponents, if not to bum them.

"Fiddle said Mrs. Petty. “In my belief it’s come on through reading those newspapers. If I had my way I’d bum the lot."

    Generally true, but I reckon a good punitive bumming might on occasion alter opposition to friendship.

    Sam - true, and even though friendship ought to be an unalloyed good, mistakes can be made.
