re Bad HornWhorl

Adam asks what clues there are to Horn's adultery before Seawrack. Page 249 of OBW Seawrack says "Well, a woman is what I am. Like your Nettle, or the Tamarind you talk about sometimes..." And in the list of Proper Names in the Text, Tamarind is listed as "a fishmonger's widow". So that's what Horn got up to on his trips to town to sell paper!
