Hints

294

Reading THE FEET modifies our relation to the randomness hypothesis (cf. p 88)

295

Similarly the text «step back to reflect» which may be guessed, is certainly not fortuitous (cf. p 89)

296

Mister «One-Two-Three-Where’s-your-Breakfast» is

actually a giraffe as Kipling let us understand. (cf. p 90)
