Scylla, Molpe, and\nHierax were in it. They've said so at various times.\"\n\nOn Sphigx speaking to the Trivigauntis (_Exodus_, p. 182):\n\n[Siyuf at the dinner party:] \"A god speaks to us, also. Sublime Sphigx\ncares more for us than any other city. She alone of the gods speaks to\nus in our ancient tongue, speaking as we did in my mother's house, and\nas we speak in mine.\"\n\nJerboa offering children (_Exodus_, p 230)? This one doesn't support my\nposition, in light of rereading the earlier passage about the monkey.\nThe monkey Jerboa sacrificed was at his first sacrifice, and he was\nleery of such already.  So I'm no longer quite so sure he ever actually\nsacrificed a child.  It's Maytera Wood who says \"They remind him of\nchildren.\"  I think that's what got me going, and I may have read too\nmuch into it.\n\nAnd here's one just for fun and confusion!\n\nOn Marble/Rose mixture (_Exodus_, p. 215):\n\n[Marble, getting effusive towards Mint:] \"If I'd had to live by myself\nin the cenoby with just Maytera Rose and that chem I couldn't have stood\nit. We'd have gone mad!\"\n\nOne of the more perfect lines in the book!\n\n     -vizcacha\n     (david_lebling at avid.com)\n\nQuestions or problems to whorl-owner at lists.best.com"
