VLVL2 (9): "Georgian silver snuffbox" and "shabu"

[Tim Strzechowski]

147.14:  "Minoru headed for a public phone while Takeshi waited, reaching for his Georgian silver snuffbox, where the shabu were."

"Shabu-shabu means "swish-swish," referring to the swishing action when you cook a very thin slice of beef in hot water. [...]"

Regarding "Georgian silver snuffbox":

      The Georgians 1714 - 1836 
     
      The Georgian period was a one of change. There was a new dynasty on the throne and, before long, the very infrastructure of Britain was changing. Agricultural developments were followed by industrial innovation and this, in turn, led to urbanisation and the need for better communications. Britain became the world's first modern society.
