My grandmother to the rescue, perhaps. The following information came from her.

She noticed two incorrect notes in the song. The first, at ~0:35, was a G that was meant to be an F#. At ~1:14-15, there's an E that's supposed to be a G. The song is played in E Minor.

Look here to see exactly which notes I'm talking about. Ignore what the notes actually are, this is probably in a different key and just to help me point out the suspect notes.. The first incorrect note is in the third bar of the second page, the note with the circled 3 directly above it. For the second, loop back to the first page. First note of the fourth line. Both notes are in the treble staff thingy, I guess. Maybe not?

What this all means, hell if I know. Probably need to line the incorrect notes up with the notes near them to see a message somewhere around there... and guess who just went to bed.

Update: on Peg's blog. Also, a quote from Hamlet on the Snow Town library page & this is in the guestbook (Yikes!)

[Ruby]

Your grandmother has good ears! I'm not sure what to make of the Greensleeves thing again.

Anyway, the library site has been updated with some lines from Hamlet.

I suspect that the 90, 91, 92 etc are line numbers from the source text that Ruthie copied the Hamlet quotation from. I did a quick line number count, and the quotation is 90 lines in from Act 1, Scene 4.

What might be telling about this scene is that it involves talk of drink and the appearance a ghost just after 12

...!

I am starting to suspect that Private is Clare Haynes. She fits the profile: a bit timid, seems scared, and reluctant yet conflicted about the snow people, while not wanting to incur Ruthie's wrath. What do you all think?

A friggin pine cone... seriously? *sigh*

Maybe the Magician was post-imbibe when he stuck that in there?

Ok, well, on a more serious note... maybe someone got to the bucket first? If I think of spirals and pine cones, I think of the fibonacci numbers... but I can't find a starting point or reference to go from with that... Does the pine cone mean anything to anyone else?

[amandel]

Just that all pine cones grow in two opposing sets of spirals. Here's a fun Website showing how.

[TankGirl]

I've asked Peg to inspect the pine cone for any marks. I'm hoping it's like the spiral that lead us to the howl page... markings of some kind on one of the two opposing spirals that will spell out something helpful for us.

This is light and probably not very relevant but I sent this to Private :

Voicemail changed,

"Drink," I said, presenting him the wine.

He raised it to his lips with a leer. He paused and nodded to me familiarly, while his bells jingled.

"I drink," he said, "to the buried that repose around us."

"And I to your long life."

then she said that she's gonna close the library early at 5 pm today (march 1) to prepare for the virtual book club broadcast at her house. She also said that she doesn't want visitors after 9pm.

the quote is obviously from the cask of amontillado.
