Which reminds me of one crazy notion that I had but which proved to be 
wrong. I supposed that the word 'lot' was mentioned 49 times throughout the 
novel, hence the title. Browsing the e-text destroyed my theory.

I agree that the 49 words thing may not be of
>any real significance, but if he'd discovered that the last para of COL49 
>actually was 49 words long (rather than just quoting the last 49 words) and 
>nobody had noticed that before, then it would be a genuine find, would it 
>not?
