Babbiehorn?: Was: a sincere question mostly for roy

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.

Wasn't he shivering all over with fear of not conducting the sacrifice 
correctly? Afraid that Rose would (once again?) scold him for being a 
good-for-nothing?

By dead Pas, who was where?, and what's possession got to do with looking 
dead or resurrecting?
