I remember it as something the recently stroke stricken One Eye says to
Sleepy in 'Water Sleeps'.

Subject: RE: (glencook-fans) The FAQ
I know Eric wanted to make this private, and I agree, I just wanted to make
one last solicitation for suggestions before I get down to it (I was out of
town yesterday or I would've written sooner). Currently, I'm scanning the
archives to come up with additional questions.
Any advice is welcome. Christopher, you mentioned you had suggestions.
I'm all ears.
I should get v 0.0 banged out by the end of the week. I've been pretty
busy at work, or I'd try to get it out sooner.
Pete
