Henry or Harry?
Anyone else notice that the professor bounces back and forth - sometimes in the same chapter - between calling the narrator Henry and Harry? Is this a Dailylit error?

As strange as it sounds Harry is an abbreviation of Henry so the names can be used interchangeably like with John and Jack.

I guess that makes sense since it was written so long ago. Thanks!

To give you a modern example Prince Harry (3rd in line for the British throne) was christened Henry but everyone refers to him as Harry.
