I'm getting ready to start my own thread here-  Lake/Wren: the 
oppositions.    Oh well.   Shoot - I did it.   :-)

If  Deuce can equal hell what about Frank?


Lake finds  Deuce,   whose first name means  the number two and, in 
games - a tie (tennis),  the two-card,  two dots (dominos),  two for 
the hole (golf).   And "deuce"   also means the devil in exclamations 
of confusion; "what the devil"; "the deuce with it"; "the dickens you 
say"

And Wren finds  Frank,   whose first name means "blunt: characterized 
by directness in manner or speech; without subtlety or evasion; 
"blunt talking and straight shooting"; "a blunt New England farmer"; 
"I gave them my candid opinion"; "forthright criticism"; "a 
forthright approach to the problem"; "tell me what you think--and you 
may just as well be frank"; "it is possible to be outspoken without 
being rude"; "plainspoken and to the point"; "a point-blank 
accusation"

Frank's  "traversing" is to bring back those who killed his father. 
He finds Wren (a small cloud, a searcher of truth - pg 279) to point 
him in the direction.

Kindred,  is about family  "related by blood."   Also,  of like minds 
or attributes - kindred "spirits."   And,  of course,  Philip Kindred 
Dick.

My little game of opposition continues...
