Which ones in particular? The only odd part I can see is that 
Casdoe, whether in her 20's or in her 30's, seems young compared to 
her father's age. But that's not anything to do with my 
interpretation: it's in the text. Assuming nobody's lying about 
anything, he certainly has to be over 80. 

(The question is: how old was Rudesind 70 years ago, when he was a 
boy? If he was 12, say, that makes him 82, and Fechin has to be 
older than that, assuming your self-porttrait interpretation isn't 
correct.  And Casdoe's father is a contemporary of Fechin's.)

Everything I've made up seems to fit together quite nicely as far 
as I can see, in terms of ages. And it's certainly simpler (for 
whatever that's worth) than having to bring in time travel and 
khaibits.
