This account is just stunning! Although I managed to “get it,” what you were trying to convey, it will require at least a second read, along with a read of the novel - one I think worth purchasing, vs a quick read of a copy from the library. A small thing - I just about hooted with joy at the proper spellings and use of “practice and practise.” Thank you. Your work is phenomenal! Thank you for that too. I was introduced briefly to Robertson Davies by my English prof the first year I attended university - as a mature student at age 32. We “did” his novel “Fifth Business.” I still have it. As an aging senior, I think I will get much more out of it now - and especially after reading this piece of yours. Getting on it! Be well. Take care.

If you purchase the book we can do a book club on it in a chat room that would be great fun and wonderment,
