This thought definitely occurred to me when Neville's gran mentioned he
could paper his room with the wrappers. I don't think it was a throwaway
line, I think it meant something. It is hard for me to keep up with the
list these days, but from what I have seen of SILK GOWNS, it sounds
entirely plausible. Maybe Neville *will* paper his room... and maybe he
will find a message.
