But...Pike's ghost? Aaaargh! He never answered the artful codicil...who or what is it? This is a true mystery.

Part of my own tooth-gnashing over this resulted from the fact that the ghost or "ghost" might just still be one of the inhumi. Wolfe has merely told us that it wasn't Quetzal! (And, earlier on, confirmed that Quetzal wasn't the only one aboard the Whorl.) Ah, the blinding light of hindsight. The answer that gave me most relief was the bit about the =accidental= Mint/Marble mixup. That one was hurting my brain. Mantis:

Now I know you didn't mean to suggest that there was a "dumb question" on the list, but I'm going to defend it as if you actually said it.

Thanks for putting it like that. I'm conscious of having privately formulated many, many dumb questions about BotNS and BotLS.... Dave David Langford ansible at cix.co.uk | http://www.ansible.demon.co.uk/
