Bohcoo reponds:
Yep, yep. Right you are. Big as life, on page 9:
"In the meantime, he had nothing to look forward to but another 
restless, disturbed night, because even when he escaped nightmares 
about Cedric he had unsettling dreams about long dark corridors, all 
finishing in dead ends and locked doors, which he supposed had 
something to do with the trapped feeling he had when he was awake."

(And, wow, Salit -- what a memory you have! I'm quite impressed.)

Bohcoo responds:
Oh-h-h-h-h-h. NOW I get it. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!  

(Duh. . .and I feel kind of dumb right now... But, I'd rather feel a 
little dim now than to miss something and really get lost later 
on.)

Sheepish grins,
