For Adam and James: Literary Devices, Authorship,

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.

Rather busy & don't have time to reply in detail -- but -- Adam,
you seem to be barking up a very odd tree indeed here:

> I may be missing something, but I don't get your point here.=20

Ummm... when else _could_ she have read it? The _only_ time
for her to read it (and for the children to know she has=20
read it and say so) is after "the Narrator" arrives but before=20
he departs -- because she departs with him. Ergo, he was in
New Viron long enough for her to read it.

Gotta scuttle,
