How could Weer,\na boy, be aware that she was having sex with both Peacock and Macafee, and\nJulius not be? When Weer wrote that \"--when she was Mrs. Smart--repent three\nor four times a year of her casual connection with Professor Peacock and her\noccasional nights with Mr. Macafee\", did he mean that he was present when\nshe confessed to Julius?"

And whether Macafee ever connected it with\nher tremendous weight-gain.\n\nWe also learn elsewhere that she was making whoopie with Peacock on those\nartifact expeditions.\n\nThe fact that she is walking from Macafee's to Dubarry's would be rather\nsuggestive, but in the context of the text it seems starkly clear that she\nwas run down on the street immediately after an \"afternoon delight\" session\nin view of the Chinese egg.\n\n=mantis=\n\n\nSirius Fiction\nbooklets on Gene Wolfe, John Crowley\n29 copies of \"Snake's-hands\" until OP!\nhttp://www.siriusfiction.com/"
