<DIV>> The valet had been altered by Incus. Thus, "satisfaction" at asking
how long since he had received his wages.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>No, he was alered by Fulmar with the help of Incus.
"The valet had been a most creditable little project, and one Fulmar could never
have brought to its wholly successful conclusion without his help."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>> Therefore, having already seen the chem and knowing full well
what the results were, seeing him again was just a side issue, as Incus said.
And the chem that Bittersweet would use was a male too.<BR>"He had wanted very
much to see the old porter with _his_ skullplate and faceplate removed."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I don't see what the gender of either chem has to
do with anything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=3

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT size=3 face="Times New Roman">>Well, Incus
was trying to be discreet, but not about that. The message that the patera is
attempting to convey must have been attempted in both letters. That the letter
might be intercepted was a concern, but the frustration of getting dense
Fulmar to understand something he didn't know was the primary
concern.</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The message was: "I can't make it tonight."
The rest is chit-chat. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And why would Incus be planting clues of this kind
anyway? He really wanted to see Bittersweet's porter, that is made clear
in the text. Why does he want to make puzzles for Fulmar?</FONT></DIV>
