"A party of Fops, Macaronies, or Lunarians, -- it is difficult quite to
distinguish which," works its way into the tale here. MD.21

It's difficult to distinguish which? 

Note, as Paul noted, things are dropped in on the reader, on the tale
itself it seems, or we pick it up in mid dialogue, and the Fop names are
introduced by dialogue. 


Derek? You are talking to a D-O-G? MD.23 at the top

And

"...don't we Algernon?" MD22 at the bottom

What about the punctuation here, the question marks? 
Not really questions. We are getting a lot of these. 

I can't help but read the Fop "questions" as inflectional?
But maybe I'm thinking stereotypes here again.
