Number Five\n4. Maitre\n3. Mr. Million\n2. Gene Wolfe II (first cloned progeny)\n1. Gene Wolfe (founder, ur-patriarch)\n\nIn this group, to incorporate David's maidenhead pun, Mr. Million is the\nvirgin.\n\nAs for our Gene Wolfe, the one you number 1, he would be Gene Wolfe 0.\n\nThe horizontal configuration includes the current batch of Wolfes, the one\nAunt Jeannine can't quite total to five (because she's unaware of who\nNumber Five's sister is).\n\n1. Maitre\n2. Aunt Jeannine\n3. Number Five\n4. David\n5. Phaedria\n\nIn the above configuration Phaedria is the virgin, because I refuse to\nbelieve that given the casual attitude about sex and the licentiousness of\nthe Maison du Chien that Aunt Jeannine is still hymenally intact.\n\nRobert Borski"
