Apologies if this has been posted, but I can't recall seeing it anywhere.
I just reread _GR_ and noticed something I previously missed in the
"Krupp wingding." At 716.23 we read, "Bodine in a light singsong 'le-pro-sy
[down a third to] loaf'." Pig's surely singing these words to the tune
of the opening motif from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. Who'd'a' thunk it?

Whish! A gull. Gulls. Far calls. Coming, far! End here.
