phantom, in your, for want of a better word, analysis of Fea's narrative, you are either being misleading (no doubt in line with one of those incredibly helpful wolf-trapping ploys of yours) or, the more likely alternative, in my opinion, continuing your trend of maliciously loving mockery towards Ms. Dark Lady.

You read deep significance into lines like "You have been brave, but not wise" to suggest that a wolf, or both, was "in the thick of things" and that one might even have narrowly escaped lynching...an argument which implicates especially, as Esty noted, that naughty minx Audrey. If people start believing this stuff, you'll get her lynched as you failed to do yesterday, and if you're innocent then that's a pity, because I think Diamond is no wolf and your case is bunkum.

I mean, really. You're suggesting that not only is Fea giving us clues in the narration - a course of action that has never been successfully implemented - but that she's actually telling us in what style and quantity they've been posting lately. With the odds already so heavily agains the wolves, I find it inconceivable that the Dark Lady would weaken her entertainment by attempting such a thing.

"Brave but not wise" no more refers to a wolf's playing style than the tears on Diamond's face reflected her feelings about the lynching of Boromir.
