 Jessica Swanlake </a> (126-27), Pynchon uses an interesting
 structural device to convey the confusion the two characters
 are experiencing. Using rhyming word-pairs in each section,
 "Eerie, dearie" and "faucet, Dorset" (p.124) in Roger's and
 "distress, Jess" and "fag, Mag" (p.127) in Jessica's, to
 reinforce the pairing of the two sections, Pynchon then
 plays off the old phrase "at sixes and sevens," which means
 "to be in a state of confusion," by using sevens in Roger's
 section and sixes in Jessica's.
...
 Numerically, the clincher is "unwholesome obsessions
 with who said what to whom in the spring of 1942 for God's
 sake [...]." As you math wizzes out there might already
 know, "42" is "6 x 7."
