I asked once before, but received no responses. What happened on p. 266-67
with Merryn and the dog? Jahlee says "Merryn had trouble with animals, too."
Then on the next page SilkHorn hears Severian say he wanted to show them his
dog. Jahlee goes out. Silk/Horn says "I followed her in time to see the
witch's gaping mouth and the utter blankness of her large dark eyes." Huh?
He then says "I must remember to ask Jahlee the secret." Is that The Secret,
or some other secret?
