This got me thinking - the revd says, "It begins with a Hanging." But
really it doesn't, except in the "Had I been..." construction. So, is it
just something said to hold the kids' interest? Or are we being set up
with alternate realities where in one, the revd was hanged and
resurrected into an entirely new Knowledge of the terms of being (for
the reader's benefit) and in the other, incarcerated and exiled?

Just wondering aloud.
