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.

A league is an inexact measure of about three miles. That's very impressive
whorl-analysis, vizcacha.=20

BTW, I'm pretty sure that the house where Silk is held prisoner is Oosik's
house, that the room in which he lies is Mattak's room, and I suspect that
the woman's scarf he finds will prove to be Hyacinth's scarf. I'm less sure
about the blue tunic.
