As a quick "homework assignment", with one eye on my note (below)
to p 90.4-5, please look also at p 87.2, and also especially notice
where Hugh bought the shoes he is wearing in Chapter 23 p 85.11
Thanks: John
[90.4-5 "the broken bridge which suddenly spanned the gap of time" --
clearly evokes the musical _Brigadoon_ (which I saw in 1948):
this is the story of a bridge which appears once in a hundred
years and opens the way to another world, or rather another
time (enabling the hero and heroine to meet and fall in love)
and then disappears leaving the pair .... well I don't want to
spoil the ending. This is a version of a German tale called
inter alia, Germellshausen, or das geheimnisfolle Dorf,
a village that reappears every hundred years and then again
vanishes. Besides being a bit like the two worlds of _Ada_'
this business of passing from one world to another connects
this with the first and lst chapters of TT.]

EDNOTE. HP got his boots in BRIG-a-doon which was one of my mother's favorite
musicals. My father, a Germanist (inter aliia), insisted that I read Heine's
"Germellshausen" in my negligible German.
