Dear Victor,
I agree with you qua Mary's query: one shouldn't
"mention those two V.V.’s in the same
message lightly on this esteemed Forum"
My question concerning "Vladimir" was, at first glance,
only a tease ( Sigmund and Vladimir), but
actually I had been wondering about a second "nabor" ( recruiting?) agent, as
found in "A Nursery Tale", when a feminine version of the devil
intervenes and spoils Erwin's harem ( two phantastic recruiters,
indeed!). Whad could have been VN's purpose when he chose to call this
demonic character, " Frau Monde"?
