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.

URTH, Chapter XIII, "The Battles," paragraph 3:

"Again my semblance stepped forward. Having relieved myself of something of 
the contempt I felt for him, I was able to note his dragging foot and the 
arrogant angle at which he poised his head. The leader spoke again, and a 
little man with dirty gray hair like Hethor's told me, 'He desires you to do 
likewise. If you do not, we will kill you.'"

Excellent point, and one that I don't believe has been mentioned before.
