HelpRe: it still doesn't explain ...

"Totally agree. Sterne tries to be convoluted as a plot device. It's entertaining, unless you are thinking clearly. ;)" Funny, but I hate when authors do that -- especially when they're so transparent about it.
BTW, my mother's name was accidental, but it was a happy accident for her. You see, her mother was illiterate and named her Margot. My mother was never sure what my gm meant by that. Did she mean Margaret but wasn't able to pronounce it correctly? Did she mean Margot with the t pronounced? Who knows, but until the day she died, my gm called my mother MarGOT. Okay, moving on ... my mother was named after her mother's sister, Ella May. Where my mom lived, the city registrar would periodically visit houses inquiring if there had been any recent births. It was she who named my mom Margaret Ellen Mae and my mom was glad she did!
