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 yet 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 part (perhaps most?) of the message:

There also seem to be an elf and a bow in it, and possibly a "dear."
