Atdtda[4]: 108.20 Some huge underground construction venture

The act of naming is continued in the the last 2 paragraphs of this 
section:  while normally you take a house and gradually you make it into 
a home (which requires not building), here it is the other way round.  
Also note that by observing, the inhabitants of St Masque come into 
existence, as well as its town.

Could the underground construction be a shelter for the "European 
Powers" (108.9)?  The inhabitants are cutting themselves off from the 
real world: "But wandered away before any of the lads could answer" 
(108.23-24), as they are even not interested in a possible reply.

More information can be found, away from the Holy Centre (?), with "one 
of those low haunts", but it does not reveal much more. In fact, giving 
a bit of background information causes even more confusion with Chick.

Michel.
