So yesterday and today I reread The Vor Game for, you know, research purposes--and I discovered that my little text file that holds all the canon there is about Jole apart from the four words from Cryoburn was missing TWO ENTIRE SENTENCES. D:
In case you were wondering, there are (depending, I guess, on what exactly you count and whether you trust Word to do your counting for you) 253 words of canon about Jole. The text I keep in the file is a little longer, since there's a good description of Aral and then a bit of scene-setting. Here, I will share:
( The Vor Game, pp.88-89 in my paperback copy )
And, including the final two sentences, which I had previously totally neglected to obsessively study. They ... don't actually change anything, except giving me the glimmer of an idea about something for one of the future stories in the The World That You Need series....
( The Vor Game, pp.321-322 )
I have to admit, though--apart from the unnecessarily suggestive verb "snabbled"--I don't really start getting insanely tin-hatted in my analysis of any of this text. (I save that for the four words in Cryoburn.)
