By my divisions, Canto One is made up of 14 index cards not 13 (I've attached a PDF of my Canto One divisions). (Fittingly, the fourteenth card contains only one line: "the wonder lingers and the shame remains).

What I mean by that is as follows: Line 130 of Pale Fire is: "I never bounced a ball or swung a bat." Line 139 is: "Bicycle tires." After that, it isn't the next line that's labeled 140, but the line after that one.
