Hapworth Stunning Slab Of Words

Okay. Seymour's using his new and entirely trivial mastery of written construction and decent sentence formation.

But this following sentence...what's the deal with it? It doesn't seem quite right...especially the underlined part.

"You will recall, quite with my undying, humorous sympathy, that at least three of your children, in sheer independence of each other, and utterly untaught, have picked up the delicate custom of spinning the body around with alarming speed, after which regrettably ostentatious experience the person who does the whirling can often, though not always, by any means, arrive at a decision or an impressive answer to a problem, usually quite small."

Should there be a different word for "which"...? or should it read "with alarming speed which, after each regrettably ostentatious experience the person who does the whirling can often"...? Or am I just not understanding a word...?

At any rate, one sentence beautiful...Hapworth must've taken Salnge a lloonngg time to write. The whole story reminds me of "Good Vibrations." You know the song, and how it was put together...a 3 minute symphony that took 6 months to make. It's not your run-of-the-mill oldie on the oldies station. Should one hear it on an oldie station next to, say, "Hang On Sloopy," one should notice the difference right away. Sorry to ramble from the original intent of this message. Just, I think Hapworth is no run-of-the-mill short story. Never read anything like it. Perhaps because I've never been installed, elaborately wired and almost instantaneously plugged into characters like the Glasses.
