The Ghost of Missed Details

Until I have a chance to dig up some old notes for a proper blog post, I'll give you something to ponder.


I've been thinking about misdirection a lot lately, and it doesn't help that the picture of Hermes Bouchard on the eotvoswheel.com website reminds me vaguely of Penn Gillette.  So I was circling back around for a few minutes last night and I realized....
from www.eotvoswheel.com
The picture of Hermes Bouchard has four fingers.  It's a strange parallel of Ship of Theseus in which Corbeau injures her fingers by touching one to the slime at the double quincunx where Vevoda had tested his weapons (p. 157).
