Typos in "Against the Grain" by J.K. Huysmans

1. "harsh outbursts of comets and trombones" should be "harsh outbursts of cornets and trombones". Looks like this was a transcription error on the huysmans.org copy, but I confirmed with the HathiTrust scan.

2. "goose yellow, current red, cold tooled" should be "goose yellow, currant red, cold tooled". Once again, a transcription error on huysmans.org.

I'll try to email the huysmans.org site to see if this can be fixed upstream as well.

Best,

Will

Thanks, these are fixed now!
