WWJ VIII ~ Things That Go "Quack" In The Night

[The Saucepan Man]

Well, Doctor Who lasted longer than expected …

Actually, the truth is I like to spend my Saturday evenings with Mrs Saucepan-Orc. So I am only just back and up to speed.

My earlier main suspects were Jenny and morm. Jenny has not yet put in an appearance. Morm has, although mainly just to defend himself.

Of course you were talking to Mith. And, if you are a Duck (and she is the Owl), you had good reason to gain her trust and to ask her not to dream of you.

As for morm’s reactions to the Mith and Glirdan revelations, we all had good reason to pause and think and maybe to believe one and then the other. But his views on this issue seem to have followed village opinion rather too closely for my liking.

Trusting Ang, as I do (his instincts as well as his proven innocence and revealed Hawkishness), his regret over his vote gives me pause for thought over morm. I think, however, that this was largely a result of morm’s accusations of pride and foolishness. To the extent that it was anything said by morm in his defence, it must have been this:

Well, I looked back and, while there was some suspicion of morm prior to spawn’s vote, it could hardly be described as making him the favourite for the lynching. Anguirel thought him a Duck. I was fairly suspicious. And Nogrod and Cailin both expressed some mild suspicion. As some have noted today, morm is generally one of those who is unlikely to attract votes unless people are very suspicious of him. He was by no means favourite to be lynched yesterday at the time spawn voted. Quite the opposite. I can well imagine her voting for a fellow Duck at that point, particularly as she was not to know that she would be later "revealed" and lynched.

Here, morm is still trying to dissuade the Owl from dreaming of him, albeit more subtely than before.

I strongly suspected morm earlier. If anything, his contributions since have heightened that suspicion. Primarily because they have been directed mainly towards defending himself rather than finding a Duck. He throws suspicion Kath’s way, but provides nothing to justify that suspicion - other than my earlier comment that, if he’s innocent, Kath would look suspicious for her vote for him following Glirdan’s revelation. Yet, he now claims to put more faith in Mith than in Glirdan, so I am not sure how that can cout too much against Kath.

It's late and I must vote.

Goodnight all. I hope to see you tomorrow.
