Did he like deciphering that dialect? He did nae! The encounter with the godling struck me as very similar to one of Sev's meetings with Juturna ('I would save you'), or with the hierodules, where they kneel before him. In a sense, the godling is a debased version of a hierodule, and recognises Silk as the 'holy one'. Kieran C. *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. ---
