p 707 - Ashby de la Zouche reference, egad, this is a real
place, I thought it was as fictional as Adrian Mole

p 571 - a "Maskelyne cabinet" - yes, that Maskelyne was
a descendant of the Maskelyne Mason & Dixon knew.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Nevil_Maskelyne
got his start exposing spiritualists; used similar devices
for illusionist stage shows, also invented the pay toilet.

p 566 - a scalar only has magnitude, a vector has both
direction and magnitude
so, in a way...(this is pretty sick)...Kit, when he wakes
up knowing what he has to do, changes from a scalar to a vector?
