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'm not so sure.
Sev coming to overthrow Baldanders..a woman outstretched on the table.
Silk slaying Blood as Marble sits with her hand outstretched.
Able encountering the woman laid out on a stone table to be sacrificed 
to the dragon as he enters the cave at the end of The Knight.

I think Wolfe had a specific tableau for each of these climactic scenes.
