That sailor is Hethor, and his "crazy" speech contains perhaps our first glimpse of the many faces of Tzadkiel, who is captain and figurehead and ship and more. In URTH, Tzadkiel also has her exiled part, the little fairy by Brook Madregot: this part is maybe the closest parallel to Lara and Tina. If Hethor's "paracoita" doll was also a "little Tzaddy" . . . eek. A possibility. =mantis= ---
