Barbara joins Davis in bed. He addresses her as Val. They fight. Val bursts in. Things get worse:
"'It's all a mistake!'
"'The mistake was ever bringing you along,' snarled Valeria.
"The wind hooted and banged the shutters.
"Above it, suddenly, he heard a roar..." (p. 97)
OK. Let's slow down. Barbara and Val are identical clones with the same feelings for Davis. The wind, of course, contributes to the argument. It must hoot and bang while the women screech and snarl. But something else is happening. That roar above the wind is other women coming to kill Davis as a Monster...
Comedy, drama and pathetic fallacy in a single page of prose. We read on to find out how Davis will get out of this one.

Kaor, Paul!
I had to laugh a little at this. Davis Bertram is still having no luck!
Ad astra! Sean
