Room of Lost Loves

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'm moved to remember Abel's description of Lady Freya's house.  "You're 
forever finding something new there, and it's always something good.  Secret 
stairs leading to rooms full of books, and instruments you've never seen 
anyplace else, or windows with beautiful views you never knew were there".   
Rivendell, The High House, and a touch of Libraryspace?  I expect they all 
link up.
