Corrected entry: Page 35 - near the end of the darkened words, it reads, "it involved bashing her with wooden spoon..." It should read, "it involved bashing her with a wooden spoon..."

Correction: The full quote is "it involved bashing her with wooden spoon and words at various intervals". While the indefinite article could be used, it is not needed because it became part of a plural noun. A definitive or indefinite article would be needed if the line was as written in the mistake, but the full sentence is grammatically correct.
