<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>More questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Who is the "evil guest"?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Gideon Chase is referred to as "the guest" on the
first page. He is even characterized in ways that imply he is evil. At least the
President thinks so.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>[page 230] Cassie calls herself a guest on the
island. She asks Hanga whether he is a guest at the island and he says
"no".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>[page 217] When Scott Zeitz's death by werewolf was
reported in the newspaper, he is referred to as a "guest" at an unnamed
hotel.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Any other references?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Wolfe has repeatedly referred to Bill Reis (and
only Bill Reis to my knowledge) as a villain.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'll bet the title "An Evil Guest" is a reference
to ghost story writer J. Sheridan Le Fanu's "The Evil Guest". But I've never
read the story. I've only read his "The Green Monkey". Does anyone else have any
knowledge of this story or more extensive knowledge of Fanu?</FONT></DIV>
