As he tried, unsuccessfuly to protect poor cold-blooded Fava in the wintry night, nearly killing himself too as she inadvertently leached away his warmth. Fava's life could have been saved if she had lain between two humans (or Babbie, or any other warmblooded creature), but Horn could not take that chance and had to try alone. Just as he buried her alone. The entire point and meaning of this book is lost in the argument, and there's not a shred of evidence for it other than the usual Wolfean snake-charming. I really feel offended by it. -alga *This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun. ---
