[618.35-36] "It's this damned English practice of talking in code, so
everything has to be deciphered."

Cf. Vance Aychrome on 607: "I'm not much for modern poetry, but I know codes
when I see them ..." etc.

Or even "Lew's experience of English English" (614).

Also, further back, Yashmeen to Lew on 224: "On this island ..." etc.

Given the context here, cf. the communication between Kit and Herr
Spielmacher on 615.
