CK: I don't recall who the eavesdropper was -- do you?
The squirrel (that witnesses Van and Ada's first kiss): "hight up in that dappled tree, with only that stray ardilla daintily leavesdropping [sic]" (Part One, ch. 16). On the other hand, there is a "leavesdropper" (a splendid trouvaille, according to Demon) in Ada's second version (composed by Van, as B. Boyd pointed out) of Coppee's poem: "Their fall is gentle: the leavesdropper / Can follow each of them and know / The oak tree by its leaf of copper, / The maple by its blood-red glow" (ch. 38).
