: I believe the term was supposed to be "patroon,"
Yes, we agree. The script, in more than one place, does indeed use the word "Poltroon" - capitalized as if it were a surname. In the book, in fact, we used that word in the text & as part of a photo caption. After listening to, and debating, Marcia's reasoned argument a couple of months back, we decided, rightly or not, that she is correct. Luckily, there was time to fix the error in the book. It now reads, "patroon's house". Thanks, MM!
