  Alas, my memory was faulty.  Mary, not Barbara, is Eleanor's sister-in-law's
name.  I wonder if Barbara Bold is named for anyone in Trollope or Dickens?
The PEACE hypothesis is under work--since it may be quite a while (moving in
and getting used to grad school is taking a lot of time...) for me to polish
it, some of the major points are:

  -- The motif of the skulls--and the connection between Weer's skull (also a
kind of memory palace) and the skull the picnic party sees in the
cave--especially in light of Olivia's comments about how mankind will one
day vanish...
  -- The "dream walk" Weer takes by the river
  -- The story of the Sidhe
