British Armada paperback edition.

"I didn't believe my own eyes. When I looked at that
man who met us outside Captain Carmel's office, I

That's what I thought too at first. Then
I thought he
might be a jeweler or a watchmaker. Then when he
was so friendly and he bought us a hamburger, I just

half-witted owl, listening to him-"

Excerpt taken from p.48 of the US keyhole paperback. The text in red was completely excised from the UK Armada edition. No attempt was made to edit the remainder of the page, which mistakenly gives the reader the impression that the "half-witted owl" comment was uttered by Bob, not Jupiter.
