the chain to show the locket to Bob Ogden, and again, perfectly 
clearly and long enough to remember what it looked like when 
Hepzibah Smith showed it to Tom Riddle. That locket *des* have 
markings on it, Slytherin's mark, IIRC. Otherwise, Merope could 
hardly have proven to Caractacus Burke that it was a Slytherin 
heirloom. I can find the actual quotes and page numbers if you need 
them.

Hold head in shame...  oh well.. if you are gone to make a mistake 
make a big one!! This will be in the Quibbler I am sure. I can see 
the headlines now. ;-(  I'll be demoted to the Janitoral crew. ;-( 
Yes, Carol what you say makes sense too. I was thinking that the 
passage confirmed that the thing in the cave was a pensive. She 
writes it that way to confuse us a bit, I think. So is she talking 
about the cave thing being a pensive or the pensive in DD's office? 
Oh.. sometimes don't you just hate her!!
