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 ... if we are looking at this as mirrored halves, it would seem to me
that would imply Mary king and Kiki are the same around the fulcrum of the
dinner - both have shrouds etc. I have good reason not to associate Doris
with the supernatural at all, and as the valid love interest being chased
away, because her super short letters are the inner ring of the triannulis,
and because her middle name is Rose (Rosemary, though gee that resonates
with Mary too argh), and because the fox kimono shows a fox chasing off a
rabbit - Dorris is the rabbit being chased off, not a spirit. The kikimora
brings dreams both to a man and his real-world love interest to drive them
apart. Doris says she is going crazy and will wind up like crazy  Kiki if
she keeps hanging out near his insane house.

In the chapter fox and wolf ... bax talks to mrs. Nabor and Mrs. Murrey.
How frustrating is that?
