I mean the former. Silk|Horn (whether portrayed by the Narr or by Hood & 
Hife, is (to me, at least) an attractive character but _not_ the
terrifyingly 
good man Silk was: he's far more _human_ than Silk-alone.

As for his "disquisitions," well... I won't go as far as "boring," but
they're definitely inferior to those of just-Silk as portrayed by 
Horn-and-Nettle.

who wonders if Horn has a brother named Hardart
