Yeah... it might very well be that he just made a mistake. It
might be similar to his naming Southwick "Henry" in one place (Ramage
- pg 256) and "Edward" elsewhere (Ramage's Signal - pg 191).

Frankly, I don't know how he did as well as he did. I recently
finished the third novel in my Sidney Smith series (The Temple -
coming out next week, by the way), and was surprised at the number of
times I had to do a search on the first two books to see what I called
someone or something. I can't imagine what it must be like to keep 18
books straight.
