I'm not one of the experts answering your post!  I'm one of the 
novices posing another question.  What is the veil "veiling"?  Is it 
covering something (as the first verb definition) or is it hiding or 
disguising something (as in the second verb definition)?  To me, 
that would be of utmost interest in determining just what happened 
to SB.
