Why do you think a Neighbor should be an expert on Mother's
worshippers? I'm not claiming the narrator ever was one.<br>
<br>
Secondly, this shows remarkable nativity regarding the concepts
Wolfe is dealing with...<br>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 19, 32);
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;
font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; orphans: 2; text-align:
justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space:
normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust:
auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(249,
253, 255); display: inline !important; float: none; ">“But
concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of
heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."<br>
<br>
Thirdly, he was a young Neighbor (all those little trees in that
broken glass dome). <br>
<br>
Finally, I offer Able. Some people argued that it was odd that he
was able to become an accomplished archer so quickly. Wolfe's
answer was, "Well remember he's spent some years in Aelfrice." So
why do he display such ignorance of the place throughout the
novel?<br>
