Maybe other people, reading Crane's, mm, confession in _Passage_,
remembered this bit from _Legacy; I didn't.
[Saun is talking to Dag]
"'Well, there was a fellow they told me about down at Log Hollow. He
got into big trouble a few years back for secretly passing goods and
coin along to his farmer lover and her half-blood child, or children - I
guess it had been going on for some time when they caught up with
him. He argued the goods were his, but the camp council maintained
they were the camp's, and it was theft. He wouldn't back down, and they
banished him.'
Dag tilted his head.
'It was no joke, Dag,' Saun said earnestly. 'They stripped him to his skin
before they turned him out. In the middle of winter. Nobody seemed to
know what had happened to him after that, if he made it back to her,
or... or what.'"
