Babbie, a Destrier?

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 sometimes it's that simple.

If anything, I think they are markers of otherworldliness. Gnomes, kobolds, dwarves (my email composer wants me to say "dwarfs"!), orcs, etc., often have red eyes, or black. Granted, brownies have brown eyes and fairies blue. 

For Wolfe, red eyes seem to be a sign of alien-ness, like multiple legs.

Maybe Wolfe thinks that red eyes look cool.
