The Fires of Heaven page 209

[Humansimulator]

I've searched around but can't seem to find an answer to this. In my copy of The Fires of Heaven, page 209 is a misprint of page 201. Can someone post either a scan of the correct page or point me to a place that has the text from that page perhaps? I'm more than likely not missing anything even though i'm a couple chapters passed it by now but I'd like to know what it says on that page anyways.

 

Thanks for all your help.

Which edition?  The page numbers are different in the hardback and paperback, and there may be some variations in different printings.

  Kinda funny you wrote this article yesterday and I came lookin for it today hehe.  I have the same issue with Fires of Heaven.  Not sure what edition...I'll type what it has on that page though.

Hope that's what ya needed.

 

I have the same issue, page 201, the beginning of chapter 9 A Signal reads through to 208 where the last sentence is

 

****  "I do not know what you mean," Elayne said, staring straight ahead toward the town, but the sudden spots of color in her cheeks gave her the lie.  ****

 

and then on page 209 the first page of chapter 9 appears again and then on 210 it jumps to somewhere else with the first words being

 

****  more sure I become.  She joked about it too often to mean anything else."  ****

 

It's Nynaeve calling Elayne out on flirting with Thom on this page.

 

At the end of the book as well there is a huge chunk missing at page 944 in chapter 55 The Threads Burn where two people are fighting*so I don't spoil anything for anyone :D*in tel'aran'rhiod instead of there being the continuation on 945 it goes to page 897 in chapter 53 Fading Words right after you know who dies taking someone with her.  It continues on "normally" halfway through chapter 54 To Caemlyn and then right into the Glossary starting with Alviarin Freidhen.

 

So basically it's missing half of chapter 55 and all of 56.  If I said any of this in a confusing way, just ask where it's weird and I'll try to explain differently.

 

Thanks in advance for any info,

Greg

It's the same copy as Thysin's. We are missing all the same I am going to guess, however, as I haven't made it as far as chapter 55 I haven't noticed anything there hehe.

ya, my copy is like that, too. Anyone got page 209? Because, on page 210, it starts right in middle of some dialogue.

Well, I located that, so here goes typing:

"I do not know what you mean," Elayne said, staring straight ahead toward the town, but sudden spots of colour in her cheeks gave her the lie.

"Not only is he old enough to be your father twice over, but--"

"He is not my father!" Elayne snapped. "My father was Taringail Damodred, a Prince of Cairhien and First Prince of the Sword of Andor!" Straightening her hat needlessly, she went on in a milder tone, though not by much. "I am sorry, Nynaeve. I did not mean to shout."

Temper, Nynaeve reminded herself. "I thought you were in love with Rand," she said, making her voice gentle. It was not easy. "The messages you have me give to Egwene for him certainly say so. I expect you tell her the same."

The colour in the other woman's face heightened. "I do love him, but... He is very far away, Nynaeve. In the Waste, surrounded by a thousand Maidens of the Spear who jump to do his bidding. I cannot see him, or speak to him, or touch him." She was whimpering by the end.

"You can't think he'll turn to a Maiden," Nynaeve said incredulously. "He is a man, but he isn't as fickle as that, and besides, one of them would put a spear in him if he looked at her crossways, even if he is this Dawn whatever. Anyway, Egwene says Aviendha is keeping an eye on him for you.

"I know, but.... I should have made sure that he knew I love him." Elayne's voice was determined. And worried. "I should have told him so."

Nynaeve had hardly looked at a man before Lan, at least not seriously, but she had seen and learned much as a Wisdom; from her observations, there was no quicker way to send a man running for his life, unless he said it first.

"I think Min had a viewing," Elayne went on. "About me, and about Rand. She always used to joke about having to share him, but I think it wasn't a joke and she could not bring herself to say what it really was."

That is ridiculous." It certainly was. Though in Tear, Aviendha had told her of a vile Aiel custom.... You share Lan with Moiraine, a small voice whispered. That isn't the same thing at all! she told it briskly. "Are you certain Min had one of her visions?"

"Yes, I wasn't at first, but the more I think on it, the more sure I become. She joked about it too often to mean anything else.

 

Quite a bit of text to type, that one  ;D.
