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.

(1) Anyone who deals in rare books knows the Librarians. There are very 
few Librarians; therefore, anyone who deals in rare books knows Ultan. 
Anyone who knows Ultan may know his boss Inire. Inire most certainly 
deals in very, very rare books. Therefore, Cyriaca's uncle knows Inire, 
at least.

Ultan is so tall I can't imagine Cyriaca being related to him. Inire is 
so unimaginable (dark? small? old?), I can't imagine Cyriaca being 
related to him. So I'm stumped, but there is definitely something there.

(2) One way out may be that Inire is the "uncle" of every little girl 
who knows him. Inire knows all the little girls at court; therefore, 
Inire is the "uncle" of every little girl at court. Cyriaca was a little 
girl at court; therefore, Inire is her uncle.
