eDNOTE

For those who get the TCM channel the the Harold Lloyd silent film "Safety Last" will show on theTurner Classic Movies channel. Nabokov draws on the scene with Lloyd dangling over the street from a giant clock.
The film (or more likely the poster) provides
Luzhin with the solution to his problem. The time varies with your U.S. location.
