Greum: No, it doesn't actually have a title, but the chapter is titled "The Lobster Quadrille". Having had time to think it over, I have to say that actually it is indeed a song, even if The Spider and the Fly is not. But though the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle speak of "the words" and of "singing", they make no mention of the tune. The movements of the dancers, however, are solemnly, and it's sung slowly and sadly. Gibb: That seems quite the fit. (I don't like it much, but that's to be expected: I don't think much of that chapter.) Bye Mysha
