Dear Jansy,

Did I say that? I think I said, and certainly meant to say, that
Shade, like Hodge, is definitely NOT SHOT and that he does live on,
fly on as Kinbote. The question of "alternatives" could be a confusion
for the word alternates (or alters) meaning alternate personalities -
- is this what you meant?

What's an OUR?

Carolyn
