You say:

 It's the use of *conspires.* For an instant you're not sure if the narrator is 
about to fork 
off from Mason's comment into a narrative interpolation, then you realize it's a
 
comment on his tone, or some other contextual marker, always relevant.  Do 
others see 
these little plays?

I say: In GR you find this all over the place. When I first read it (roughly 10 
years ago) I noticed this immediately and thought: What a brilliant way to avoid 
all the He said/She said-business! For sure, one of many things that made me 
admire this (for me then first) work.
