717 6 "almost the need to place a gloved finger across her lips"
so they're both wearing gloves (he having patted her gloved hands 716 27)

717 24 "First time I rode in one of these...was here.  If I hadn't
come to Vienna, I probably never would have."
He is just making conversation, but at least on some
level he sees Vienna as a stepping stone or building block,
--- and, on a very much more pedestrian level
("who knows but what on a lower frequency, I speak for you"
as Ralph Ellison said), Cyprian finds a secret passage in Vienna
to Venice, just as Yashmeen finds a portal (which isn't exactly a
door) from Kit's room to the street in Goettingen.

717 30 In a similar vein, he no sooner thinks of going to see
Ratty than <zap> he's talking to Ratty, immediately (im - mediate,
excluded middle, eh wot?)

717 - this page has 40 lines, though most have 39. WTF?

717 33 "not so much puzzled as curious in a professional way"
"Yashmeen still in the picture, I see." --
since Yashmeen isn't there (they're discussing her in the
3rd person, which even a King's College man would never do
were she there) what Ratty sees is probably a dossier...

717 36 - "Hypatia.  Before the Christian mobs..."
Proto wrangleress.  http://pages.prodigy.net/fljustice/hypatia.html
has a seat at the table at artist Judy Chicago's work, The Dinner Party.
