Taking the book "Daughters of Erebus" to bed with you PapaHotel6 won't give you an insight to too many facts.
Well, I'm with you there.

I am not sure what prompted Holmes to put pen to paper.
I suspect the connection to the family goes way back. Somewhere on the internet I saw a summer holiday photo containing Himemoa Elder, Holmes's future wife with Katherine Collins.

The issue is not what Mahon found. It's whether he was correct. Does this relieve the feigned bafflement?
I'm not sure the bafflement is feigned. While the fact that 3 Holer quotes Mahon like it's Scripture is baffling to us; for some, the very concept that Mahon might have been wrong simply won't compute. There is, as someone once wrote in the Herald, a messianic adherence to the Mahon report which in those that have it, supersedes the quest for balance, and truth.
