Fortunately, Tolkien got rid of this unspeakable horror with some handy white-out.

. . . he ran out of white out before he can erase 'Gandalf the Grey uncloaked.'

Fortunately, everybody loved Gandalf the Grey uncloaked

Unfortunately, Tolkien's Editors burned it and forced him to start over.

Fortunately it was a very good revision which had nothing at all do to with squirriels, skwerls, Star Trek (though there were several similarities), iguanas, heart attacks, haunting-spirits-of-famous-authors, cannibalism, or sasparilla. Hilary Tolkien did not play any part of the making/publishing process and, furthermore the tittles of his "I"s were replaced by little hearts.

Overall it was well recepted by the public.

Unfortunately, the public all suddenly mysteriously dissappeared, leaving only the critics to comment.

Fortunately, they had all loved the revised Lord of the Rings and gave Mr Tolkien lots of gold.
