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.

This is my first post.  I have been working my way through the archives  =20
for several weeks, and I am finally caught up.

Peter,

I read Suzanne Delange again last night and when nothing unmistakable  =20
jumped out at me I reread it with the story's opening statement in mind.  =20
 That is, the narrator was struck by the passage he had read which stated  =20
that every person has probably had at least one event so momentous and so  =20
inassimilable (somebody's making good use of his thesarus, huh?) that he  =20
has wiped it from his memory.  I took that to mean that the narrator had  =20
not only met Suzanne in his past, but that she was very important to him.  =20
 I read the "Unable to be photographed" to mean that Suzanne was pregnant  =20
then and that the young lady he saw was his own daughter.

The vampire angle never occurred to me.  Neither have many other aspects  =20
of Mr. Wolfe's writings revealed to me in the urth.list archives.
