I mean that there \nis some ambiguity in that formulation - like when Severian says, at the \nbeginning of Sword of the Lictor, Gee, just think, if the conciliator were \nhere, he would be in constume just like anyone else!  How neat!  That \nstatement takes on an ironic cast when he know he will re-enact the life of \nthe conciliator (or that he probably is the conciliator, I suppose) Let's face \nit, Wolfe's narrator's make a living off not seeing the obvious.  For example, \n1000 pages later, \"You mean I'm not Horn?\"\nMarc Aramini"
