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 think it's often said that the Fair Folk cannot enter a human dwelling 
without an invitation, so you could be right. I still have bit of a 
problem with Lissy doing a secret midnight skinny-dip. The next morning 
she says to Tim, "I want a swimming lesson. What will people say if I 
tell them I came here and didn't go swimming?"

She could be lying because she wants to conceal that she met the King, 
but she could still mention her swim without telling that part.
