Not to worry! 
It cudda been worse...Last week I actually (sit down for this one)
misidentified the villa of Foppel. I said (here is the howler) that
some event occurred at that place when it was obvious to every school-girl
that it could not have been any other villa than that of Von Trotha.

You cudda knocked me over with a feather. I hope some day to be able to 
laugh about it; not now, though.
