Yes, Lewis Carroll stuttered. He was ordained a deacon but never a priest
possibly for that reason. However, he did preach at times.
"Frice" sounds to me like Carroll. He invented the phrase "fritter my wig".

Dear Stan,


Didn't Carroll suffer from a speech impediment? I don't think he could have
managed "Frice". But since you bring up this mathematical problem, do we know
how old Humbert Humbert is is (or should I say "are"?) when he encounters
the fatal nymphet?
