I don't think it's necessary to assume that the Council (as we might as
well call them) stole Horn's paper to stop him from publishing more copies
of _The Book of Silk_. Paper is a valuable commodity--Horn is doing quite
well for himself--and would be an obvious target for any thief. If they
were really interested in supressing Horn, they'd have taken and destroyed
his personal copy of _The Book_.
