<div> Then suddenly, as soon as the French land, the
Shadow Children put away their drugs, and become
perfect imitators of, not the new humans, but of
Sandwalker's people. If the landing is the
proximate cause, why do they not imitate the
French instead?</div>

imitators of Sandwalker's people, as is made very clear in 'A
Story'. </span></div>

It is made very clear that they were BAD imitators, who looked
significantly different.<br>

<span style="font-size: 15.5555562973022px;">There are plenty of
people on both Ste. Anne and Ste. Croix that have green eyes.
As there are on Earth. Why need Marsch not have had green eyes
himself?<br>
</span></div>

<br>
Because if he did, he would hardly have noted that Victor's eyes
were 'a startling green'. [And besides, if green eyes are just
random, what's the whole point in Wolfe's stressing it over and
over?] <br>
