One more point to this on-going discussion.  Slthrop is not the only one who
uses "a-and" in his or her speech patterns, and sometimes he is on where near
the usage.  The narrator[s] too uses an "a-and" no and then, usually, as I
recall, to register some surprise and wonderment about connections that are
falling into place (this is how Slothrop often uses it to, suggesting one of
the ways P has coded the narrator's sympathies with Slothrop).  Sorry, no
direct examples are at my finger tips.
