Does anyone know what "octopidal" means, or what it might be an error for? I have encountered it in Gyles Brandreth's biography of John Gielgud, on an announcement about Gielgud's performance on HMS Nelson, saying "Loudspeakers are being rigged so that any audience in the octopidal should be able to hear".

Neither google nor the OED are any help. I do not mean octopedal.

Well they must MAKE her escape. Where is the governor? She spends all her time enabling their escapes, what is she doing?

She has just rushed back into a burning building in order to unlock all the gates! SHE IS ENABLING ESCAPE AT EVERY MOMENT, CLARE, NEVER DOUBT HER. Except actually she is just going to rescue the Freak, instead of letting her burn to death death death.

(The gates locked because the fire ate through the riot alarm, not because they have crazy dangerous fire procedures.)
