Are the italicized words ("You" You've") indicative of action
(whipping)? 
Where else in M&D does Pynchon italicize a word to indicate that some
action is taking place? There are hundreds of examples in the text where
P italicizes a word giving emphasis,
but are there other examples in the text (or in
any Pynchon text) where the italicized word indicates some action?  


Maybe Aunt Euphy with her instrument?
