Well, they'll be heading for trouble, but the alternative is worse.

Typos fixed, thank you. There are elements of posting on Patreon I find difficult. One of those is returns/paragraph breaks and another is cursor positioning for amending/inserting things. Those are how the first error happened.

As for the tea shop - yes, exactly. :-)

I know what you mean about returns and cursors (and curses). With all the places I post to, I can never remember if a return means RETURN, or POST, or no effect at all, and then whether or not I can edit something that I've posted. And of course they don't tell you, at least on my phone screen.

I'm used to being able to copy and paste a story directly from a Word document. Patreon doesn't pick up returns used as paragraph breaks and I haven't figured out another way of doing them so I only do them once....

Try 2 returns? The first makes a new line, then the second makes that a blank line. I edit Wikipedia a lot, and the default is that a single newline is equivalent to a space (no new paragraph) and a blank line starts a new ¶.
