And I thought the one thought- more than a few lies- should have been italicized. And I totally missed bald-faced. I've always said bold-faced.

I get the "of" and "have" difference but thought the sentence should have used "he had come up with" instead. Am I wrong? I think I'm thrown by the tense.
