Babbie is going to turn up\nagain in the third volume (thank goodness, I missed\nhim) and we'll know more.\n\nAnd now me: When I read OBW, I was under the\nimpression that the Horn / Babbie transference was a\ntrick the Neighbors pulled to allow Horn to escape the\ninhumi; the latter have no interest in a hus, and\nwould become confused. Of course, if the Neighbors are\nresponsible, they are acting remotely, so Horn isn't\nreally \"encountering\" them."
