Hi
I'm reading my way through the Long Sun series for the first time, just
finishing 'Exodus..'  and I have a brief query.  Towards the end of Chap.13
where Silk is dining with Potto, Loris et al, the narrative suddenly becomes
first person -     "At that moment I burst into the room..."  This is
obviously Horn, but this first person narration is not repeated.  Is this
deliberate, an error or was the book originally written in the first person
and altered before publication?  I would guess that this subject has been
discussed before but I'm not sure how to effectively search the archives.
Also, I find it almost impossible to understand the remarks made by the
catachrest.  Here's an example, "Add, add word! Laddie, done by scarred."
Can anyone provide the key to understanding Tick?  Is it me being absolutely
thick or is Wolfe being a little unfair here?
TIA
Huw
