Hourglass Lake: [Lolita] The lake where Humbert and Charlotte go to
swim and sunbathe while Lolita is away at camp. It is also where
Humbert first learns of Charlotte's plans for sending Lolita to
boarding school, and where he first contemplates killing Charolette.

Our Glass Lake: [Lolita] Also Hour Glass Lake, a lake near Ramsdale
that Humbert wants to visit with Lo. It becomes an emblem of his hope
for fulfilling his desire, and the trips are continually canceled by
Mrs. Haze or bad weather.
