During the fifties, VN looked at psychiatric journals.

VN's dictionary was Webster's 2nd, not the 3rd--which was a significant
abridgement of the 2nd.

Dear Stephen Blackwell,

Yes, I did manage to confuse Webster's 3rd with W;s 2nd. I bought a copy of
the 2nd edition a few years ago and I can't imagine trying to figure out
Nabokov without it.

And for the rest - - what fabulous "dollups"!

thank you,
Carolyn

p.s. I'll have to re-read "The Eye" - - last read it decades ago.
