EDITOR's NOTE. Cary Henson will be speaking on "Possible Worlds Theory and
Nabokov's Novels" at the VN "Varia" MLA session (#131).

I forget who uncovered this gem, but according to the _OED_,
one of the definitions of "bodkin" is "a person wedged in between two
others where there is proper room for two only".
