<DIV>> Gerry, that's not what he wrote. He explicitly says, "Once, as I lay
there at the </DIV>
<DIV>> bottom of the pit". The point in the story is undetermined but it is
BEFORE</DIV>
<DIV>> he sat up. It straightforwardly the opposite of your
reading.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You’re forgetting the *thirst*. It was when he came to himself and
sat up that he noticed he was thirsty. When the long-nosed man sent him on
his astral voyage, he told Nettle he was dying of thirst. So the
long-nosed man must have come after Horn came to himself and sat up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>He lay there both before and after sitting up that time. What else
would he do to rest? He could not climb walls or lick dew for days on
end. So “once as I lay there” tells us nothing. But the thirst tells
us the sequence of events.</DIV>
