Hello all... I used to subscribe to the BOTNS list years ago and after this 
short hiatus have subscribed to -this- list.... as a sort of introduction I 
thought I'd begin with a really sophomoric question that has been bothering 
me... I'm on my third re-read of BOTLS but have only read Short Snu once.

At the beginning of Return to the Whorl, Horn/Silk is cared for by a couple 
near Silk's old residence (manse?)... what are the common ideas about who 
they are?  The man's sudden (violent) reaction to Horn/Silk at the end of 
their encounter is quite odd and implies a lot more than is apparent 
(surprise there).  I'm sure I've overlooked something of critical 
importance, but I'll go out on a limb and ask for your ideas...

Thanks for your time,

Tony
