Not actually in Chapter 1, and previously discussed on the list -- the
epigram. Severian is the watchman holding the shortest watch?
The pistol as a theme or symbol: something so precious, uncommon and
completely destructive. (Later, bringing in VanVogtian descriptions of
ravening energies ;)) Giving a pistol to another to care for the woman
you love.
