For Lemur, the mechanism lived on even after the man had \ndied (maybe).  Maytera Marble's rusings indicate that she was once covered in \nflesh (this occurs even before she takes Rose's parts).  [or maybe the \ngodlings just have really big hands].\nOn another note,\nHas anyone made anything out of Doctor Crane's ghost as Silk/Horn reaches the \npole in Return to the Whorl?\n\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
