 Even as the Young Master learns how provisional his attempts at gathering information are (and his attempts double the young smuggler's attempts to gather like information about Gorgik), the readers by this time will have seen a good deal of what was involved in the creation of these monuments and will presumably bridle at the cursory way, with the best of intentions, our young scholar overlooks any and all contributions of various women intellectuals, such as Venn and Pryn's great aunt, to some of these accomplishments — contributions whose import we have seen first hand.A second high point involves the return of the Mummer, from “The Mummer’s Tale,” who offers a devastating critique of the Master's current set of philosophical dialogues, which is set up to suggest a similar order of critique which Socrates might easily have made of Plato, the older philosopher's presumably sympathetic and accurate amanuensis.
