"Wijzer warned me" (more Blue mysteries)

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.

4) What does "Wijzer warned me" on page 366 refer to?

I don't have the book with me at work, but when I read this line I went back
and reread Horn's conversation with Wijzer and figured this out (I think).
Wijzer said something to the effect that eventually Horn would change so
that even his own sons wouldn't recognize him.
