Pathan is a 1920 printing of Volume 1 of the American Outward Bound
Edition. (Stewart/Yeats No 22) This volume first appeared in 1897 and
it would be interesting to know whether that edition also has Pathan,
since the 1899 first edition of Macmillan's Uniform Edition
(Stewart/Yeats No 26)was still using Panthan."
I have the 1897 printing of the Outward Bound edition, and it has "the
Panthan girl" (192).
It would be easy to check the CMG version in the BL (on microfilm). We
can be all but certain that RK proof-read that one.
