M&D - Chapter 16 - Great Waves of Melancholy on the Atlantic

[Johnny Marr]

"'Well'! What are you saying, Mason? To be *not  *well over here, is to be
dead. How *you* have avoided that Fate, indeed, puzzles me".

Poor Mason, suffering misery in earthly paradise. TRP captures him in
depression, as a man out of step with his cohorts, resigned to being
misunderstood by the well meaning but unreflective Maskelyne and the still
unencountered Dieter (another visitor from the Spirit World?)

Who asks for Break-neck in the taxi?

What did 18th century Hungarian and Moorish music sound like?

 And what's the importance of the Wind "blowing cross-wise to the light
incoming from Sirius, producing false images"?

In truth, I'm a bit tired and need to go to bed. Haven't done the last
couple of pages justice; will revisit tomorrow ...
