Shade does not say that Hazel has a roommate. The reader is lead to make that assumption from Shade's statement that Hazel sometimes sits with "that nice frail roommate, now a nun."
Surely it makes no sense to have a "dangling" roommate, without stating whose roommate she is, in this context? Don't Shade's/Nabokov's words have the plain meaning/implication that she is Hazel's roommate?
