This is just a faintest echo. "Locquet" reminds me of
"Roquebrune" where SK's mother died. SK mistakenly visited another
Roquebrune and saw an illusion of his mother there. I know, only "o[c]que"
is common.
There must be better comments.
This has no relation with Locquet or word games -- Grand Suisse Et Majestic
Hotel/Grand Hotel Suisse et Majestic/Suisse et Majestic Hotel is located
opposite Montreux station.
