Thanks Kimberly,

Especially for the Diggory/Digory thing. I don't know if you have 
read the previous message, put I'm trying to write this project for 
school (teachers college) where I analyse the intertextuality (don't 
really know if this is a word?!?:-) of SS. I've been thinking and 
looking all over the place, but I still have some pieces of the 
puzzle missing. 

Thanks a buch:-)

Christine
