(ii) An Englishman is correct about English grammar:
"...I hadn't quite decided whom to ask." (Chapter Twenty, p. 549)
(iii) The 622-page A Meeting At Corvallis (Emberverse, Vol III) has arrived so discussion of this series will continue. Meanwhile, there will continue to be unpredictable revisits of Poul Anderson's works. We have a universe to win.

Kaor, Paul!
I recall somewhere that Sir Nigel, after the early death of his parents, was largely raised by his grandmother. I would not be surprised if it was the grandmother who insisted on strictly correct grammar. I think we see mention of her being both affectionate and strict to the young Nigel Loring.
And I remember your comments about how "whom" is increasingly falling out of common use. As was inevitable, the English language is changing.
