I tried with Narby too.
It was strange with Elsie. He didn't really gloat, but he seemed strangely happy with Narby's loss of faith. Since then I've wondered seriously if Elsie wasn't a DU troll. His actions certainly didn't fit my idea of what a Christian would do in those circumstances.
That's an explanation I hadn't thought of.
Something strange there, anyway.
I'm off to work. Developing today, among other things, a popular presentation on the evolution of autumn leaf coloration and fall.
