Reminds me that Katje, good at math, a spy-girl, sexy, contemplative, but 
not a Bond girl for sure, knows a message when she sees one (GR.535.20). 
Alone, caught in the web of white ash, she busts the code  ... "...the 
Midget sheriff is the whole dark grandiose Scheme, wrapped in one small 
package, diminished, a clear target.

The plot/ Midget vanishes.

Katje is put in the oven (hell).

Not exactly a feminist's heroine.
