86.5 "lame consolation" -- neat twist of this trite phrase to the
actual near lameness coming to the wearer of the shoes.

86.15 More pleasant word play with "FUR of coniFERous FORests",
said forests consisting or FIR trees.

81.29 "Person was prone...." -- we note that the letters of the
last word are contained (minus the s) anagrammatically in the
first; just as that PERSons first letters are appear as the
in the name of St. John PERSe.

86.33-34 "and the bank, and the church, and the great chesnut
tree..." -- evokes the pattern and in part the words of "Et
le grand chene et la colline" from Ada.

Thats it for now: Thanx.

John
