Reading through the Urth archives before joining this list, I came across someone asking what the fantastic element is in "Suzanne Delage". I had wondered that when I first read it, so I read it again, twice. On the first reading, nothing. But on the second pass I came across a sentence that gave me the most extraordinary sensation I've ever had while reading: it "caught my gaze" in the most literal sense imaginable. It's such a major spoiler that I won't mention it right now, especially before being certain about the conventions for spoilers on the list; but does anyone know what I mean? Or am I imagining the whole thing? Peter. Peter Westlake, Harlequin Ltd, Barrington Hall, Barrington, Cambs CB2 5RG.
