Maude Smith

Source-context continuity of Harold W. Smith’s long-standing wife. Book70 explicitly explains Maude as her name and Irma as her pet name (ch05:p0037–p0042), bridging the older Maude/unnamed-wife and Irma groups. Each book’s portrayal and naming remain source-scoped; this is not a claim of a transcription error or a second marriage.

destroyer-024:b24-mrs-harold-smith: Lead compared identifying primary passages and reviewed roles for Mrs. Harold W. Smith: Smith’s wife, who does not know his covert work and believes he is a dull federal researcher. This is compatible with the existing destroyer-014-maude-smith subject (Harold Smith’s wife; receives the message directing Remo to Washington.). The source’s own labels, narrative/mention/paratext scope, attributed statements and uncertainty remain in its observation; this decision does not assert real-world accuracy of fictional acts. (witness:00000069:ch14:p0001; witness:00000039:ch05:p0054).

destroyer-038:mrs-smith: Primary contextual review establishes the recurring subject through its CURE/Sinanju role and compatible earlier observation. Smith’s wife in Remo’s speculation about people who might love him. Preserve source labels and attributed roles; a missing surname is not invented as an observed alias. (witness:00000111:ch02:p0012; witness:00000039:ch05:p0054).

destroyer-070:maude-smith: Same Smith wife/household subject. Book 70 explicitly says her name is Maude and Irma is her pet name (ch05:p0037–p0042); earlier series books use Irma as her wife-name form. Preserve both source naming practices without inferring two wives. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000204:ch05:p0040; witness:00000204:ch05:p0041; witness:00000204:ch13:p0130; witness:00000204:ch05:p0037; witness:00000204:ch05:p0038; witness:00000204:ch05:p0039; witness:00000204:ch05:p0042; witness:00000039:ch05:p0054; witness:00000159:ch04:p0003; witness:00000171:ch17:p0031).

destroyer-077:maude-smith: Book 77 names Maude as Smith’s wife and later identifies Maude Smith; Book 14/70 use the same named wife and household context. Book 49/55/59 call Smith’s wife Irma; whether this is a source continuity/name inconsistency is unresolved, so Irma is not treated as an alias and that distinct observation is deferred. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000225:ch05:p0009; witness:00000225:ch05:p0015; witness:00000225:ch40:p0003; witness:00000039:ch05:p0054; witness:00000204:ch13:p0133).

destroyer-064:maude-smith: Same wife explicitly identified by marital role and Maude name; Book70 supplies the Maude/Irma pet-name bridge. This is only a retrospective visit reference. (witness:00000186:ch12:p0166; witness:00000204:ch05:p0037; witness:00000204:ch05:p0042).

destroyer-071:mrs-harold-w-smith: Book 71 directly identifies Mrs. Smith as Harold’s wife. Book 70 explicitly explains that her name is Maude and Irma is her pet name; Book 14 provides the canonical Maude Smith household history. No second-wife inference. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000207:ch15:p0005; witness:00000207:ch30:p0021; witness:00000207:ch30:p0027; witness:00000039:ch05:p0054; witness:00000204:ch05:p0037; witness:00000204:ch05:p0041).

destroyer-049:smith-wife-irma: Source-context continuity of Harold W. Smith’s long-standing wife. Book70 explicitly explains Maude as her name and Irma as her pet name (ch05:p0037–p0042), bridging the older Maude/unnamed-wife and Irma groups. Each book’s portrayal and naming remain source-scoped; this is not a claim of a transcription error or a second marriage. Lead directly inspected both older and current identifying contexts. (witness:00000141:ch14:p0024; witness:00000141:ch14:p0026; witness:00000141:ch16:p0052; witness:00000204:ch05:p0037; witness:00000204:ch05:p0039; witness:00000204:ch05:p0040; witness:00000204:ch05:p0041; witness:00000204:ch05:p0042).

destroyer-055:irma-smith: Source-context continuity of Harold W. Smith’s long-standing wife. Book70 explicitly explains Maude as her name and Irma as her pet name (ch05:p0037–p0042), bridging the older Maude/unnamed-wife and Irma groups. Each book’s portrayal and naming remain source-scoped; this is not a claim of a transcription error or a second marriage. Lead directly inspected both older and current identifying contexts.

destroyer-059:irma-smith: Source-context continuity of Harold W. Smith’s long-standing wife. Book70 explicitly explains Maude as her name and Irma as her pet name (ch05:p0037–p0042), bridging the older Maude/unnamed-wife and Irma groups. Each book’s portrayal and naming remain source-scoped; this is not a claim of a transcription error or a second marriage. Lead directly inspected both older and current identifying contexts.

destroyer-049:smith-wife-irma: Both sources identify Irma as Harold Smith’s wife, through the family/fudge memory and explicit marriage context. (witness:00000141:ch14:p0024; witness:00000141:ch14:p0025; witness:00000141:ch14:p0026; witness:00000159:ch04:p0003).

destroyer-059:irma-smith: Lead compared Smith’s farewell to Irma with the previously personally named wife of Harold Smith; same recurring spouse, while personal names observed in each source remain separate. (witness:00000171:ch16:p0029; witness:00000141:ch14:p0026).

destroyer-081:maude-smith: The same named wife of Harold Smith appears in both; relationship and direct address support identity beyond the shared first name. Lead inspected these bounded primary contexts; this is an identity decision, not a third full reading. (witness:00000237:ch19:p0073; witness:00000237:ch19:p0074; witness:00000237:ch19:p0079; witness:00000225:ch05:p0009; witness:00000225:ch05:p0010).

destroyer-085:maude-smith: Book 85 names Maude Smith and shows her as Smith’s wife. Book 70 explicitly explains that the wife named Maude uses Irma as a pet name, joining the prior Irma/ Maude observations without inferring a second spouse. Lead inspected these bounded primary contexts; this is an identity decision, not a third full reading. (witness:00000249:ch35:p0065; witness:00000249:ch37:p0001; witness:00000225:ch05:p0009; witness:00000225:ch05:p0010).
