Chapter 47: Bigfoot, Meet Nessie!
Reef is blasting tunnels in the Alps.
A comparison is made between Albanian vendettas and the Traverse-Vibe feud.
The mines are threatened by creatures of the mountains, a kind of Bigfoot-Snake, the Tatzelwurm. Here is a great variation on an old Freudian joke:
“It is comforting to imagine this as an outward and visible manifestation of something else,” chuckled one of the Austrians puffing on a cigar stub. “But sometimes a Tatzwelwurm is only a Tatzelwurm” (655).
We learn Vibe is in Europe, and once again, Reef is in a tryst with Rupert Chirpingdon-Groin. A presence, perhaps Webb’s ghost, or some spectre of international socialism, urges Reef to renew the vendetta and hunt down Vibe.
