??? Have you read The Book of the Short Sun?
I'll ask again, do you think Mamelta was unique in not having her memory 
messed with?

Why would she care? Silk was not Typhon. Why would she care that he 
looked like Typhon? What in the book makes you think she would be 
sentimental about a clone of Typhon or anyone else? She cared about what 
use she could put people to and that's it.  I can't imagine what you 
would have wanted her to say. You expect her say "Lo! The image of my 
cursed husband whom I have slain. Yet he continues to vex me in your 
flesh." That's an ER Burroughs novel, not Wolfe.
