Also cut from MS-1993 (Moore's inventory): Gately's "giant feral infant" sighting; the Marguerite/Isle of Demons anecdote (from Parkman, source of AFR names)…

This is material that was cut: present in a draft, absent from the published novel.

In the published book. This material does not appear in the published book. Nearest anchors: feral infants motif (yrstruly strand, scene 40), Lyle scenes 39/80/82/84, Joelle/Madame Psychosis strands, Orin phone material (scene 41)

Evidence. A single source reports this. Documented by Steven Moore's first-draft collation; the six channel-surf snippets also Paul Debraski's survey of the draft record (in the Newsweek scans); the bee fable and the catatonic eavesdropper also Michael Pietsch's December 1994 second-read letter (typed cut-list entries "643 Lyle's story of wise old bee: cut." and "808 Ennett House talk with vegetable woman listening. Cut.").

Further notes. Kept as one block deliberately — none of these is independently theory-bearing on current cruxes; split any item out if an adjudication starts leaning on it.
