Stopped at "... a boîte à surprises." (165.29)
We are still with dairy products - butter and, the brutherscutch, cheese, Margareeen, all somehow connected to space and time! There is a good measure of musical terms,  geometrical terms such as isolating biangle,  Rhomba, Trabezond and believe it or not, geological periods (eocene)!!
