Jolenta and Dorcas

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.

	Well, it's possible the relationship between Jolenta and Dorcas is
intended to strain our credulity--it seems unlikely that Severian has
_witnessed_ anything, and I think there's a good chance this is just Sev.'s
jealous imagination at work (and possibly a hint of Proust's Marcel's=20
obsessive probing of Albertine's relations with women--although Severian is
much more matter-of-fact about it and in Proust the suspicion is justified,
while here it may not be).
