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.

The quotes that support this on p315: "I wanted him so long..." Meaning Horn/Silk and p316 "Something like a smile touched Jahlee=B4s lips. "He had so many, Rani, = in Gaon. I couldn=B4t kill them all."=20 With Rani, probably the female form of Rajan (Queen), Jahlee is = adressing Nettle. Jahlee states that the Rajan (Horn/silk) had to many = wifes in Gaon for her to kill them all. Perahaps Rajans rescue (saving = her from the hole/grave) kindled her interest since she according to the = quote presumably was in love with Horn/Silk as early as in Gaon.
