I don't want to it to appear that I was uncharitably questioning Child's style of writing. I questioned the metaphor because it does not fit my way of interpreting Tolkien's origins, since I don't think we can dig down to one final, basic intention, the central point of the onion. It was my way of leading into the point where Child and I differ, that's all, and I am very grateful that I can discuss such differences with her. *curtsies respectfully to her and to all*

Who would have thought that talking of England would lead to metaphors drawn from cuisine? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
*ducks and runs away before the Brits clobber me*
