    Seduced back to The Laughing Man after forty years
    by Paul's Parallels I find myself once again feeling as
    bewildered as the narrator (as, no doubt, I'm meant to
    feel) - by what the hell is actually going on between
    Mary & the Chief.
    
    Who's dumping who? And why? Is it a straightfoward
    dump or an abortion? Or what? And what's all this
    with the opened & rebuttoned overcoat & the brief visit
    of 'hands' to 'hip pockets' - BOTH hands? It doesn't
    strike me as any recognisably tell-tale gesture.

    Cripes, I feel thick. Thick & irritated (not intrigued)
    as I am by Teddy & all the other knowing ambiguities
    of the Master.

    Scottie B.
