Perhaps the same sort of proleptic plot assemling as that which*
characterizes the relationship between See More and Seymour Glass?

Oh, but one hopes exactly that this won't happen. On the other hand,
it would be a great triumph for me finally to be proved "right" by
some such letter about the conclusion of "Bfish."
* nonstandard application of "which," used here in place of "that" to
introduce a restrictive construction only in order to avoid the
awkward repetition of "that," the only possible, and thus required,
demonstrative pronoun; "which" is forced to forsake its standard usage
category and serve as a defining relative pronoun.
