Gender of child

The Mumfords' child is introduced on page 32 of the original edition as a daughter, but by the end of the story she has become a son! I corrected "son" to "daughter" while I was still only half way through the article. It might make sense to point to this anomaly in the article itself. 84.68.167.47 (talk) 10:10, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
