The word hand appears 98 times in Chapter 7, and if you add finger,
fingertips, thumbs, and palms, the references to hands are even more
concentrated in this chapter than any previous chapter. In addition
there is a passage on p. 228 describing at length the hands in a
painted portrait of Recktall Brown taken from a photo that exaggerates
the size of his hands to the point that many have observed they look
like prehensile udders.
