V.V. (12) Vera, to Godolphin

[jbor]

      Condescending, she explained that she'd been off in another
    country in 1904, and that a year and place don't have to include
    the physical person for there to be a certain ownership.
                                                        (246.4 up)

Q. Is this the first hint from (one of) the female personifications of "V"
of a type of self-awareness of in fact *being* "V" ? Or, is this merely
further evidence of Stencil's "embellishment" of the narrative, of his own
"impersonations" of "V" and her consorts?
