If
Roa is reserving the raven then I must have the pendulum! That's the nightmare from my childhood as I went and read the story a bit too young...
On other news: it's always disappointing to come in a bit late on the Day and see that all the interesting things you had discovered during your read-in are discussed in the few posts just before yours...
Well, it just tells one that certain things do raise the eyebrows...
But I still think I have something to add on a few things that have been mentioned recently. Just a moment.
And btw. this has been a very good Day1 indeed. Unlike sometimes, people have been quite forthcoming - the non-posters excluded - and there seem to be a lot to think... and rethink.
