After he gets the letter explaining that Sister Irma will no longer
be a student with the art school, Jean mentions something about a
mouse leaving the site of a burning ferris wheel, preparing an airtight
plan for the cat.
What on earth is this a reference to?? This is driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance.
By the way, although I read CITR at least 12 years ago, I only got
around to the above mentioned story _last night._ The
descriptions of Sister Irma's Christ scene, caused ROTFL with
tears running down my face for literally 5 minutes. I later read it
to my wife, but it took me 3 attempts to get through the passage
which described the moaning sound made by M/Mme Yoshoto without
screaming and gyrating in ecstacy. This is by far the funniest story
I have read in years. But it is not without its terrors, too. I have
been thinking about the wooden dummy-diety all day. He reminds me of
T. J. Eckleburg, but is somehow more frightening.
