bait maids a milken

[public domain]

My association of 'dairymaid' (the word itself)  with
the milking of cows may
  be a personal hangup. Both Pynchon and Proust refer
most overly to the selling
  not the production of milk However the overtones the
word may have to the young
  man may be important to both authors. Something like
that.

Selling but not producing milk? Sounds like James
Joyce's Ireland to me. 
Anyway, young  milkmaids are quite prevalent in the 
popular 18th century literature and art. 
But in Pynchon, they are young, very young. Perhaps
they are old enough to sit at the breakfast table,
pour the milk, even produce it and sell it, but are
they old enough to eat? That's the Pynchon twist on
Joyce/Eliot (both TS and George)/& Co…..

Keep the legs closed teen bimbo! 

Benny, Zoyd, Slothrop, Mason (have to disagree with
Jbore. Mason and Wicks are every bit a part of Tommy
Pynchon as Dixon and young Nathe) all lust after
jail-bait. 

I'm just mad about 14-year-old-girls
they just mad about me
