Early in Chapter 7, Martin has taken Leora to the medical school dance. Things start off slowly and at first he frets that she won't get a dance. Then, as she's out there dancing with one person after another, he begins to feel ignored, and comments to himself that she's out there having a good time, and he's left standing there holding her scarf.
Somehow the original translation came out as "I'm going to strangle her with her scarf!"
Could the translator have thought Martin was holding the ends of the scarf Leora was wearing as she danced? But that doesn't make a lot of sense either. Well, anyway, don't worry. I've fixed it in my version.
