Page 89 (Viking):  "The chalk cliffs rear up above, cold and serene as
death.  Early barbarians of Europe who ventured close enough to this
coast saw these white barriers through the mist, and knew then where
their dead had been taken to."

Does this remind anybody else of "Snows of Kilimanjaro?"  A-and in the
very next sentence Pointsman turns and smiles at Mexico . . . just like
the pilot turned and smiled at Harry BEFORE he pointed out Mt.
Kilimanjaro to him.

So what?  Probably nothing.*  But after reading _GR_ 4 or 5 times, this
is the first I noticed it.

*If we see the two events as a reverse sequence from "Snows . . ." where
it was the smile, then death, we could see this as Roger being pulled (by
Pointsman?) _away_ from death, or out of a dream.  The war is ending . .
. the affair with Jessica is ending . . . the counterforce & his buddih
Seaman Bodine lie ahead . . .
Why did Pointsman's smile seem so evil anyway?
