TSH: Doris and Lupine

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.

That's almost as plausible, except that when the hand-holder vanished 
"something raced away, too big and too dark, too near the ground" (p. 
129). That would seem to be Lupine in wolf form. If the hand-holder was 
just a soul it seems like she would simply vanish without any extra 
special effects, as the passenger did in the car.
