The Two Katherines

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 have made this point in regard to a few other issues recently. There
are some who latch onto one viewpoint based on one section of "the
text" making them blind to Wolfe's contradictory statements also in
the text.


Here is another quote from that section, ambiguous but possibly
significant, "I knew even as I watched her that her head was only
concealed in the cloth; but it seemed there was nothing there. I felt
dizzy and tired."

He had seen the illusion many times, and this time much closer. Yet
this time "it seemed there was nothing there." He also felt dizzy and
tired, perhaps because healing power was going out from him.
