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.

I thought 'most everyone knew that. The last page of chapter II.

  I said, "I saw Malrubius."
  An old man, a boatman from his tar-stained clothes, took Roche by the
shoulder. "Who's that?"
  "Used to be Master of Apprentices. He's dead."
  "Not a woman?" The old man was holding Roche but looking at me.
  "No, no," Roche told him. "There are no women in our guild."
