Alice, indeed! It might relate Alice with TT that Alice was *falling* while
she was talking about cats and bats. And the three-legged table! I cannot
help imagining VN had in mind the trio from Alice.

Sorry for my awkward explanation. I also thought Snyder Hall was the name of
a building, probably the dormitory. I meant that Snyder Hall sounded as if
it were someone's name when we remembered Harold Hall in the previous
chapter, as if they were brothers or relatives, Snyder was an impossible
first name though. Is there anything that could connect the names Harold,
Snyder and/or Hall?
