Venator asks Lilisaire:
"'When you say "dwellers," I suspect you mean Lunarians, not resident Terrans, not even those Terrans who are citizens. And...if you say "Lunarians" to me, do you perhaps mean the Selenarchic families - or the Cordilleran phratry - or simply its overlings?'" (p. 46)
This question is always applicable. Someone once said:
"When I say 'religious,' I mean of course 'Christian.' When I say 'Christian,' I mean of course 'Protestant.' When I say 'Protestant,' I mean of course 'Church of England.' When I say 'Church of England,' I mean of course 'High Church.' When I say 'High Church,' I mean of course 'in my opinion.'"
I am just about to make my first ever visit to Appleby Fair so there will be no more blog posts until considerably later.

Kaor, Paul!
The point being, of course, the desirability of defining one's terms, even if those definitions are often inadequate and incomplete.
