AtDTDA 32: ruperta's now questionable ascension

[grladams at teleport.com]

I too had the feeling that there would be much to-do about Ruperta's
ascension, and the text is drop dead gorgeous, but when I read it in
context to her actions, I also agree with Michael (isn't there something
about when you make a big claim to have changed, or when you pray loudly in
the street, that sort of thing, like how Bush is "born again" hey..
)MIchael who in response to robinslands obs:

robinlandseadel:
> In case you haven't noticed, I'm searching for a unified field theory
Michael:
Ruperta levitates during the Tallis piece.

If objective, this is a miracle.
Even if subjective, given her nature as we've seen it,
still something of a miracle.
She doesn't just resolve to change her ways; we're told she does so
(and yet, does her almost-next action, setting up Dally with Crouchmas,
meet this new standard? It does seem less selfish - but setting
her up with Naunt _before_ her epiphany was also disinterested...)

The power of the Williams Tallis fantasia - does it lie in the words? "
