AtDDtA1: The Falling Darkness

I don't see it. On p. 13. the only identiers are "a lady" and "female
companion" [not, for what it's worth, "a little girl"] with "masses of fair
hair."

On p. 26, at the next appearance of the "same photographer and model," the
"young woman" is unambiguously identified within half a dozen lines as
Chevrolette. Dahlia, four or five "with flaming red hair," shows up a page
later.

I've previously missed a Pynchonian venture below the age of consent, and
been set straight

But here I see neither any hint of the Rev. Dodgson School of Photography
nor any effort at misdirection -- only an expectation, in this case
unfulfilled, on the part of the original poster.
