  • Page 13 has 206 words; The word count per line is 11+7+8+10+3+9+8+10+11+8+10+10+6+13+12+10+2+9+11+10+2+9+8+9

  • The average for those two pages is 193 words per page.
  • The story runs from pages 11 to 126 (116 pages of text) but 21 of those are either blank or have minimal text and so the total page count was adjusted to 99 full pages of text.
