[bobbitt]\n\nIncidentally, Palaemon's behavior and words when he sends Severian on\nhis way are very odd.  First he claims that Thrax is by the sea.  Then\nhe tells Severian to pay attention to his good advice but remarks that\nSeverian would probably forget it all.  Palaemon, who we are told\nelsewhere was fond of Severian for his perfect memory."

Severian\nis heading upriver, but old Palaemon is confusing it with his own\njourney downriver to the coast.  Winnoc, you recall, was \"planning to\nsign aboard a certain ship\" when he got an offer from the Pelerines.\nWinnoc was still in his hometown, where Palaemon presumably beat him,\nsince he made a side trip to visit his mother before leaving.\n\nPalaemon also gets in a sly evasion in this chapter.  He states that\nguild members have been dispatched before, \"though whether those were\nsuch cases as this the chronicles do not say.\"  He doesn't tell\nSeverian that he doesn't know; he just reports what \"the chronicles\"\nhave to say!\n\nraster at highfiber.com"
