I think I have to retract that assertion. I'd been skimming over the arrival
of Kiera at Vlad's office in _Jhereg_ and sort ran the two sentence
fragments "I thought she was tall when I was eleven" into "she was still
more than a head taller than I" into something like "she was a head taller
than me when I was eleven". 

In fact, it's kind of odd how the brain works. I know clearly that Aliera is
described as short, only slightly taller than an average Easterner. Despite
that, in my mind's eye Aliera is generally about the same size as Morollan
while Kiera is about the same size as Vlad. This probably says something
about how my imagination puts Vlad and Kiera into a "compatible" category. 

Anyway, I was wrong. There's no reason to assume that Kiera and Sethra are
significantly different in height.
