From: Rich Zellich <ZELLICH@SRI-NIC.ARPA> Personally, I assumed it was just so the author could use the "Milord, get thee..." line (I'm trying not to introduce a spoiler here). How 'bout it SKZB? Care to enlighten us (I'd have asked you at Minicon, but I had just purchased the book and didn't read it until 2 days later)? -------

That line was added at the last possible minute, right before the ms was turned over to the printer. I same to have a habit of doing that. The first line in YENDI about the newt was put in at the beginning, but the second reference to it, toward the end of the book, was called in to Terri Windling just before the book went into page proofs. -- SKZB
