mantis-

Thanks for warm greeting and second op. Here are two questions, one
specific, but a bit sneaky since it tries to get 3 bits of info for the
price of one, the second fairly profound. Take your pick.

1) Does the woman's scarf found in Mattak's room in Oosik's house belong to
Hyacinth? (Of course he could just say "no" and leave me profoundly
frustrated as to homeowning identity.)

2) Is the Outsider a form of Severian (leaving open the possibility that he
includes others [as, indeed, does Severian])?
