The reason I'm asking is that I've just ploughed through the whole damned thing and haven't come across anything which can be said to resemble what Syamsu describes. So, either my edition is edited to remove these references, or they aren't there in the first place and it's dodgy interpretation that's the culprit.
I'm not too keen on struggling through the on-line version to see if there are differences between it and mine. Imagine how I would feel at the end if I DIDN'T find any differences
Also, I only managed to get through the whole tedious lot of it by hiding all my other books and having nothing else to read at bedtime - I'd need to print out the on-line version to do the same thing. I think I'd lose heart about a tenth of the way through!
