oh, and "wolving of the organ" might imply greedily orally sexing a person...
(lupine liminality)
704, line 2: "spurting out like that" - by the terms of this playful metaphor,
complaining is equated to coming; therefore the bureaucratic suffering
of dealing with all the sodomitical case-file is likened to sexual stimulus
(Theign loves his job)
704, 9: "documents showing that poor little Cyprian was your legal ward"
Cyprian would have to be at least capable of looking under 21 for
that threat to hold credence. Still wondering if he graduated Cambridge.
704, 5 "simple or qualified Kuppelei"
probably a choice calculated to induce Grisha to give info
on Misha, the Colonel, the spy network...
705 - the flashback catches up with the beginning of the
chapter: line 10 "In Trieste..."
(yet he is soon enough to move again: like
Slothrop in GR, "no one here to love or comprehend me,
they just look for someplace else to send me")
