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 once had a toy, a little wooden man in a blue coat who was moved by 
strings. When I played with him, I made him walk and bow, and spoke for 
him. I practiced until I thought myself very clever. One day I saw my 
mother holding the two sticks that held his strings, and my little 
wooden man saluting my youngest sister much more cleverly than I could 
have made him do it, and laughing with his head thrown back, then 
mourning with his face in his hands. I never spoke of it to my mother, 
but I was angry and ashamed.  ~ OBW pg 158

The reference to siblings makes it unlikely that it was Silk. Anyway, 
wouldn't references to Silk's life undermine the idea that Horn was _in 
control_  until the end of OBW.
