Cringe.)\n\n\"Thought you'd caught me out, eh?  Didn't think I'd properly thought out\nthis whole narrator business?  Well let me explain every detail slow-ly\nand care-ful-ly.\"\n\nOn the other hand, I was greatly amused by Horn's comment about having a\nmania for writing about conversations.  Yes, Gene, you certainly do.\n\n-Rostrum\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
