banshee and the green dress

It may have been her smile, and something in the way she held her head and looked at me sidelong from those eyes, as though her soul were staring at me out of narrow windows in a tower" Of course, Olivia's color is the pale green of olive's anyway, and she wears a green dress earlier in the book. More interesting is a few pages later when den imagines retelling smart's story and probably using it to win Margaret just as Smart used it to get Olivia, and then dreamlike thinking of the dog boy piddling on the rug and mounting his leg and "Margaret with his head in her lap while I explained that it did not matter, that my father would take him hunting the next day, that that would make him happy. He rises and begins to clean a gun". Why the dog boy here, and why a hunt? At all related to the stag at bay wild hunt scene? And why John weer take the dog boy Charles Turner hunting?

Ireland is also known as The Emerald Isle poetically. The majority of prominent non-color names in the text like Lorn, Weer, Boyne, Doherty etc are Irish or Scottish in origin.

Some effort has been expended on who Mr. Mason might be, but I feel like in this case the name is a direct transposition from the fairy tale story, in which Lady Tremain is the mother, Tremain meaning "from the stone house" or from the big city, certainly related to a mason. The timing of that event is difficult to make Doris Weer's daughter with Sherry Gold- if they had a child it should only be five to at most ten then. One other time slip involves Weer telling the librarian that the farm she is seeking was built by the Porters thirty years ago as he saw when Peacock took his aunt on expeditions - it seems those expeditions should have stopped by the time he was fifteen years old, but that matches the age that Blaine remembers for "jimmy" weer when "roscoe" mcafee got the egg from Olivia, when in Weer's memory he was n ine at that event. _______________________________________________
