Description: Who in real life is Lucilla? Or Louise? Did Gordon Lish do away with his wife Barbara in order that he might possess these women? Or did "Gordon Lish" do it? Who is Saint Firmus, then? Or Saint Eustatius? Or Mickey and Jack, or Wilhelm and Fred, or the Clerk of the Court, or the many Mercy Persons - from Bosoodi to Fez? Who wrote Epigraph, this epitaph for the deceased Barbara Lish? Was it "Gordon Lish" or Gordon Lish?

Did this woman - in her paralysis and thereafter asphyxiation - suffer the extreme penalty of life because her husband, on his way to render her aid, preferred first to collect from the floor a "jibby-jibby," or was there never any lint at all?
