I noticed you've been changing the prose to a more British style, and I have a small note to make. About the usage of words where the "s" and "z" are interchangeable, such as "realise" or "realize", using a "z" is actually closer to a more classical form of English. "Realize" is not in fact an Americanism but a variation that has existed predominantly in 19th century Britain and earlier and is still used today in mostly novels as opposed to the "s" variants found in many 21st century publications. This is not to say that you should or should not change the words (most people really just don't care) but I thought this would be interesting piece of information.
