M & D Group Read (cont)

[Gene DA]

Which Speculation am I all ears for! One of my questions thus far being a
curiosity about the capitalization; rhyme, reason, or madness? There seemed
to be a drop-off in capitalization frequency after the first couple of
chapters. At first, I assumed it was only a time period custom and left
speculation on patterns for later. I was pronouncing sentences as I read
with so much alternating emphasis that it was much too distracting.
