The real question is: who bought the ostrich-skin shoes from B&S? Who was the Third Man? Some kind soul wanting to spare this afflicted being, who later burned the offending footwear? Or a mini-Moo, awed by his glorious transfiguration, coveting the treasured artifacts of his admired exemplar?
I'm not sure I understood all of this, but it was so beautifully written it should have been served with a fine brandy and cigar. salut.
