VV(12): 1922

[David Morris]

I think this may be a very significant lead, the significance of the year.  
Here's another quote.

(277) Had a new phase of the seige party begun with that dusk's intrusion 
from the present year, 1922, or was the change internal and Mondaugen': a 
shift in the configuration of sights and sounds he was now filtering out, 
choosing not to notice.

Tomorrow I'll be posting more "host" material, today being out of town (St. 
Louis), but with profitable reading time on the plane which has helped my 
sythesis of this chapter.

Thanks for the help, Dave.
