SES: Don't forget the "Knave of Hearts" in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland...
JM: Wonderful link, we already had the reference to a mock-turtle giving a new edge to our reading.
CK: Bub, Bube...Bubendorf!
Carolyn stimulated a new train of thougts. The variants for "Knave" (Valet, Jack, Page) have all been presented to the reader ( at least, the Bubendorf and the Page from Hochburgund) Dreyer's jacket rising on all fours in the dream already quoted: could this mean something unrelated to the game "all fours" and simply indicate "four jacks"?
