Re: [NABOKV-L] EVENTDear Victor,

I agree with you qua Mary's query: one shouldn't "mention those two V.V.'s in the same message lightly on this esteemed Forum"

My question concerning "Vladimir" was, at first glance, only a tease ( Sigmund and Vladimir), but actually I had been wondering about a second "nabor" ( recruiting?) agent, as found in "A Nursery Tale", when a feminine version of the devil intervenes and spoils Erwin's harem ( two phantastic recruiters, indeed!). Whad could have been VN's purpose when he chose to call this demonic character, " Frau Monde"?
