Another werewolf?

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.

It appears that Ebony White is another good werewolf candidate.  Look at 
her name: werewolves are associated with the colors gray, black, and 
white (p. 206) and her name is as black-and-white as you can get. She 
bobs along like Margaret, so we have the loping walk. She never gets fat 
(p. 59), possibly a sign of a high animal metabolism. She eats terrine 
de lievre (terrine of hare) on that same page. Other food choices 
include a BLT (p. 141, has bacon), and a breakfast with a side of 
sausage and ham (p. 186, shades of the Three Little Pigs?). She spent 
extra time in jail before being released when Margaret was taken -- 
possibly they were deciding which of the two werewolves was the most 
dangerous one?
