SCSF: Faraday does think about this in the last part of the chapter, but her thoughts are rather like "maybe Yr is taking this too far" than "maybe she should not be seducing people", and the tone I am getting is something like "she should not be doing it, but if does not cause trouble, we will let her". So I think you are quite right in your assessment. (And I note that no one seems to have told her yet that she should not be doing this at Gorkenfort, a warning that would not be out of place.)
Faraday's reaction
(nods) It would fit if Timozel had... maybe thrown him in the river? Given the several assistants, that would not be nearly as bad, at least. In the current situation, she should be demanding to know what is going on with him, and telling him never to do that again. As it is... I think I know why Douglass did it, but it only gave her complete nonsense as a result.
Douglass failed hydrology?
I think so! I would probably not have complained about this if the rest of the chapter was not so boring, but next book, her poor understanding of hydrology will ruin a somewhat important plot point. I think we will have a lot to say on how that is wrong...
Ah, thank you for the correction. Come to think of it, that could be as good a way to start a conflict as the one Douglass went with: Timozel assumes that the ferryman made it to ward off evil and takes offense. It would not make that much sense, but it would require Timozel to be less out of character, at least?
