Signpost: STOP and Re-read

Stop.

After re-reading my posts (the "chapters"), I realised there may be some confusing names; namely Dick and Richard.

So, now Richard is no longer Richard, but Saul. Saul as in Saul before he became Paul in the road for Damascus. Maybe.

Maybe simply it's a name that begins with "S". Because "S" follows "R" in our alphabet. Maybe.

You choose whatever interpretation suits you better.

So, in the next post (chapter 17), Marge's partner is Saul. I've changed chapters 9 and 11 accordingly.

And, for the distracted and lost, here's the couples' line-up:

Marge with Saul;

Dick with Nicole (and with Rosemary) - a love triangle in which the characters bear the same names as in Scott Fitzgerald's "Tender Is The Night"; and

Mr and Mrs Wu.

The 'singles' (for the time being, of course):

The narrator;

Lyubova;

Anna; and

Alfred Schmied.

Oh, and there are a few odd ones out, aren't there? Side characters? Maybe.

End of sign. Road free ahead.
