(I hope I have stumped him a few times too!)You gain the feel for the scene, and perhaps the mysteriousness of the character.  Cate is exotic and artistic.  As for Carrick, you get to see his Toreador side in action.  Those are the things I hope readers gain from the post.   Anything else (like all the double meaning and layers)  is just extra bonus candy.EDIT:Barry and I do pick very famous quotes and lines so I'm sure if you dump them into a search engine something should show up if that helps.</blockquote>
