This character, who reads a book by counting 50-page blocks, seems to say “it’s a mutual, joint-stock world” after he saves a drowning “bumpkin.” While everyone else reads marble memorial tablets, this character alone notices a man who fears that two horns portend their gallows. An “attendant” imagines himself as the Loom of Time’s shuttle as this man weaves a mat with a sword. This man’s head is compared to George Washington’s by the narrator, who opens this man’s door in panic after he locks it to fast during his “Ramadan.” This prince of Rokovoko, who smokes a tomahawk-pipe, presses his forehead to the narrator’s and declares them “married,” after which they jointly worship his black idol Yojo and make a “cosy, loving pair” in a bed at the Spouter Inn. For 10 points, the narrator becomes “bosom friends” with what tattooed harpooner in Moby-Dick? ■END■
