B displays a marked preference for the -ea- form of heart. Of the ninety-two (+J13) hart forms in copy, B changes seventy-three (+J6) to -ea-. He retains 111 (+J21) of the 112 (+J24) -ea- forms found in copy. There is only one (+J3) anomalous change of -ea- to -a-. B's -ea- preference is clearly indicated.
