Negative. But he was interested in both.

I am getting the Samway book tonight. I have heard that he gets into
Percy's attraction to young females and "names names." Wondewr if this is
of any real use to our understanding of the Work. Percy was human, a
sinner who chose a Church for sinners.
I will have some comment to post in the next few days about Samway's book.
I think it may occupy our attention a bit longer than Deep Blue.
