You know, I never picked up on that absence. It's weird, because you'd think that the Harry gets to gettin' it is that dream, yet it's totally gone. Is that a byproduct of the dream, the strength of his affection for Murphy, or would the Mantle just be like "K, I got you here finally, do your stuff"?
Well, if we go with it was Mab that got a hold of him, the Knight got swindled by the Queen. In the end, she put a shot through his head.
It is one of the signs that Harry had a far better grip on the mantle in skin game.
True too.
I've argued that in Skin Game the dream where Harry has sex with Murphy is Harry tapping into Mab's dream or connection with her. That dream follows Harry's dream with Molly.
It's also a hint that Murphy=Mab.
"I've argued a thing" doesn't really provide evidence that it's true.
Just insert the qualifiers to make my statement consistent with an opinion. Most of the things I state are opinions. Just take it as that. And can we quit arguing about what people say as fact or opinion. Simply take what we write as opinion and leave it at that. It's the approach I largely take when I read what other people write. Now, if it proves true that indeed Murphy=Mab, that statement becomes close to a fact. Something that can be determined by simply asking Jim 'did you intend this to be a hint that Murphy=Mab." If he answers yes, my statement once my opinion is a fact but wasn't found to be such until later. If no, then it was not ever a fact.
