Peter T - my query was with what I took as an implication that the line about the Queen of Hearts was not economical.

As for the jarring, if there is that, which in a way there is, I think I'd argue it's justified because it seems to imply a down-to-earth quality about the woman, which points forward to the last line, where the angel does indeed get brought down to earth.
