re. Slothrop (738.7):

   ... His cards have been laid down, Celtic style, in the order suggested
   by Mr A.E. Waite, laid out and read, but they are the cards of a tanker
   and a feeb: they point only to a long and scuffling future, to mediocrity
   (not only in his life but also, heh, heh, in his chroniclers too, yes yes
   nothing like getting the 3 of Pentacles upside down covering the
   significator on the second try to send you to the tube to watch a seventh
   rerun of the Takeshi and Ichizo show, light a cigarette and try to forget
   the whole thing) ...
