p. 412

This page continues to explain S.’s images of Vévoda’s gala. At this point of the vision S. is imagining the servants filling the bottles full of wine. He then attempts to envision Vévoda but is unsuccessful. He stops writing and attempts to concentrate, and when he comes back to where he is, the orlop deck, he notices he has successfully summoned Sola, and she is there sleeping behind him.

Marginalia is limited on this page, and there is simply a comment from Eric noting that she snores a little, and her witty response stating that he in fact snores a lot. This interaction makes it clear that Jen and Eric’s relationship has developed well beyond the pages of the book.
