Thank you for that.
I was focussed on the "King C" coincidence with King Charles and
alluding to the slang meaning of "camp" and its relationship with
homosexuality. The allusion to the two tutors was not in my mind.

Dear Barrie,
'Camp'? Could relate to those two - mentors? tutors?. Ever since I
discovered several camellias at the Huntington Gardens named after
Gillette I have been intrigued to know more. I haven't had a chance to
study your Hardy trouvailles, but am very interested and will try to
catch up today. Hardy meant little to me when I noticed the
Eberthella/Ethelberta reference, but I have come to love him very much.
The razor blade -- zhiletka po-russky, deriving from Gillette -- plays
an important role in Shade's cerebral stroke(s) or course in my reading
of Pale Fire.
Carolyn
p.s. Congs for garnering such positive reactions from the usually more
reticent List members - I have to admit to a soupcon de jalousie!
