Re: The recent traffic about the identities of Robert and Marie:

    In the Jungle Garden scene in _Shadow_ the woman refers to the man
thusly: "My husband wishes..." (p-168)
    However, on the penultimate page of _Claw_, Sev recalls them as "..the
woman and her brother..." Does Sev's famous memory fail him? Did Wolfe screw
up? Or, are the two passages not mutually contradictory? If not, is that a
left-handed clue to their identities?
