This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Almost certainly any books written by Maitre would be in the non-fiction 
sections of the stacks--something the very young Number Five may not yet 
have conceptualized. (Hmmm, wonder if they use the Dewey Decimal System way 
out there on Saint Croix?)

But perhaps more importantly, two of the books #5 does find are _Monday or 
Tuesday_ by Virginia Woolf and _The Great Prince Died_ by Bernard Wolfe. 
Surely, you can see the pattern, no matter how much they jibe against your 
chien = wolf animadversion?
