While I'm asking obvious questions (the one on the invisible is sort of
rhetorical), the answers not nearly as obvious as they may seem, just
thought I would toss this into the mix. 

While I think Mason is Eurocentrick and the like and while I'm not
convinced he ever really exchanges positions with Mr. Dixon (nor the
other way round, not even when Dixon dresses up as Mason heading out to
see the massacre scene) he is certainly open minded to the seductions in
the haunts of Melancholy and the phantoms that reside there. At 603 he
seems all "doubted out." 


Withal, he is too open minded..... last paragraph page 603
