Nor I, Jan.
Except that I don't think the book actually went nearly as far, or as deep, as I think I might've have, had their been a will. Just my sense of things, is all.
But I'm willing to bet the large sum of a pint of beer (okay, I'll stretch to 2 - don't want to be called mean) that, based on the publication date of 1991, in other words just barely post Thacthcula, that it might've been a veiled threat of what could come out had there been an unwanted reckoning.
I was indirectly involved in the post Thathcula cleaning of the stables, albeit in a different industry, but one that had almost direct connections, and a back door entrance to that number in that street in Westminster - not that I knew that at the time though, I was simply an unimportant middle tanking exec - but I saw things, heard things, met people and, oddly, remember things too - and have subsequently made a point of finding out too.
Anyway, the foregoing purely and simply is a guess on my part.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
