Dear Brian Howell,

I took up your challenge to look for a coded message in the false Chimène quote. I haven't worked it out completely but it seems to work somewhat along the lines of the "Pada ata" message in Pale Fire. So far I have been able to discern the following message:

"Party, dear - - atonement. Come, Carmen"

There also might to be an elf(instone?) and a bow in it. There might be another embedded message. Dunno.

Carolyn
