#153 is correct: L is the last letter in #152, as taken from the title page of the book I read.

But #155 does not follow #154 and I cannot deduce what Roland was thinking when he posted #155. But #156 follows #154 correctly (as well as the errant #155) so I'm playing on #156:

For those concerned with what Touchstones
picks up (or not):

319 I tried to get this title into blue by giving the 1st two words
WITHOUT the apostrophe S, its own pair of brackets; then
bracketing the following 6 words. No success, the first time
(except on the 1st two words minus the 's.
But going back to it, and cllicking a second time, I did get
the whole title in blue (except the 's).
