The Rev'd's Character

[Thomas Vieth]

By God, isn't that one of the funniest scenes of the whole book? I 
really laughed my ass off.

Later on, Mason (I think it is) sez that the Revd was THEIR
(his and Dixon's) Boswell and implies that all the detail he
records is a little on the superfluous side. (Gereral slam at
long-winded writers.} He does this in the presence of the REAL Boswell,
who doesn't seem to be chagrined at not having a Boswell of HIS
own. There is of course much more and less to the Revd than this, but .
