Somewhere, I'd say between page 450 and 700, a section ends with a bill 
being brought to a table where Kit is among a party of revellers, and 
someone says something along the lines of, "Ah! The reckoning!" although 
'reckoning' may be spelt sl;ightly dirrerently. Anyone got the page number 
to save me trawling back through? Dave Monroe: your mission, should you 
choose....

In any case, I guess it's a pretty clear reference to Christopher 'Kit' 
Marlowe, and his final 'reckoning', eh? BUt is this just one of Pynchon's 
sly little jokes, or does it point to a greater significance in the naming 
of this particular member of the Traverse clan?
