A V as in two parallel lines (e.g. railroad tracks) meeting at infinity?
Suppose you draw a line across the top of the English letter V . What you
get is, of course, a triangle. Let the bottom angle represent V., Then take
the top angles as Stencil and Benny (?). Do we have a representation of the
plot, such as it is? Or of something more interesting? What does infinity
have to do with it?

2/3 of the way down page 2, perennial edition:
"overhead, turning everybody's face green and ugly, shone mercury-vapor
lamps, receding in an asymmetric V to the east where it's dark and there
are no more bars." That V is not accidental, of course.
I ask you to remember street lamps in AtD and, I ask you to remember
receding V mercury-vapor lamps when we get to V and her age later in the
book.
V is ugly artificial light in descriptive association here...
