Why else would \nMarble leave?  (I would re-read the 3rd person narrative sections, but I don't \nhave the book with me).  Is Mucor explicitly around when Silk picks Marble up?\n She doesn't show up at all in the \"present\" timeline of the text, does she?  \nThere's no reason for her to be left behind.  \nAlso, the town that Pig claims he is from, then denounces as made up, is \nlisted as a real town in the proper names of the whorl.  Does that name mean \nanything?  Could it be real, a the retractiona mere dissembling on Pig's part? \n(I like the whole \"Pig as godling\" theory that Mr. Borski has, and I think it \nworks very nicely)\n\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
