Chapter 1: Section 2: Page 16: Line 82 (187)

 "You have the watch, Suckling," Lindsay advised before departing.

* * * * * * * * * *

You would think that this statement meant Lindsay departed after saying it. But he still has more to say! I know that because as a human animal with the means to perceive things using my perception ability (even if it's not as great as it once was and I often find myself confused if there's too much sensory stimulus, like in that Pointsman poem about Pavlov from Gravity's Rainbow), I noticed another set of quotation marks beginning the next sentence. Also it's Lindsay. When has he ever kept things brief? That rule loving jerko has intimate relationships with the sound of his own voice.

I wonder what the Chums of Chance are worried about that they need a watch? Spies, I bet! And probably Communist ones! Communist ones who want better working conditions in American factories and less hours with greater pay! I bet they'd love to blow up a hydrogen-generating machine to get their point across!
