>>>2. No Idea but isn't he (Hugh) mention in Ada as well.

I don't believe there is any direct reference to 'Hugh' or 'Person' in Ada,
but we can find our way to Hugh by snooping around the realm of St.
Adelaida in Chapter 2, then noticing the word play at chapter's end.

According to the Sunday supplement of a newspaper that had just begun to
feature on its funnies page the now long defunct Goodnight Kids, Nicky and
Pimpernella (sweet siblings who shared a narrow bed), and that had survived
with other old papers in the cockloft of Ardis Hall, the Veen-Durmanov
wedding took place on St Adelaidas Day, 1871.

St. Adelaide
Born 931; died 16 December, 999, one of the conspicuous characters in the
struggle of Otho the great to obtain the imperial crown from the Roman
Pontiffs. She was the daughter of Rudolph II, King of Burgundy, who was at
war with Hugh of Provence for the crown of Italy. The rivals concluded a
peace in 933, by which it was stipulated that Adelaide should marry Hugh's
son Lothaire. The marriage took place, however, only fourteen years later;
Adelaide's mother meantime married Hugh. (

In later years he had never been able to reread Proust (as he had never
been able to enjoy again the perfumed gum of Turkish paste) without a
roll-wave of surfeit and a rasp of gravelly heartburn; yet his favorite
purple passage remained the one concerning the name Guermantes, with
whose hue his adjacent ultramarine merged in the prism of his mind,
pleasantly teasing Vans artistic vanity.
Hue or who? Awkward. Reword! (marginal note in Ada Veens late hand).
