For once, I have to suggest Salinger's dandyism may
have produced a good one in 'reticulate'. The idea
of Seymour as the central node in a a network of
influences & relationships stretching through the Glasses
out into the family of man is not inappopriate.
What clinches it for me, though, is the association with
the 'reticulate' coat of that most gentle, elegant, maybe
most heart-breakingly lovable of all the animals - the giraffe,
or (better) camelopard.
Although he isn't really my kind of chap, I can imagine that
a girl who loved him might well see Seymour as her darling
camelopard in his soft, brown, reticulate coat.
