You regret the error (II); or, Danny v. Duplessis (V)

Duplessis:

A member of the Premier's staff one day came to the gallery and asked a reporter to publish a correction for an error that had appeared in one of his stories.

"Error?" said the reporter, "Not at all, I am sure that is what the Premier said."

"I am certain, too," replied the Premier's emissary. "I took down his statement in shorthand and that is what he said, all right. But he would like you to rectify it and let on that you made the error."

He phoned debbie [sic] forward
