Gold, being the master forger that he is, seems pretty\ncertain that he has made concrete that which was only a nightmare before\n(and as I've said before, there is a weird way in which he =has=, seeing\nthe way he recognizes AD Weer as a shade).\n\nMeanwhile, hey Roy!  It looked to me as if O RARE AMANDA was published in\n1954 . . .  you know what that means!  Timeline Alert!\n\n<klaxon sounds>\n\n\"Breach in PEACE timeline at 1953.\"\n\nWe have a problem, since we place GOLD HUNT (preludes with Amanda Ros stuff\nat library) at 1953.  More research required: was ORA =first= published in\n1954?  Is \"Lusty Lawyer\" a documented case of forgery in our world?\n\n=mantis=\n\n\nSirius Fiction\nHas Moved To\nhttp://www.siriusfiction.com/"
