I suggest this is a minor theme of ''AtD.'' Every couple of chapters we have a reference to someone learning to act like an idiot (never a fool, a zany, an imbecile, a twit—always an idiot).

Jacintha Drulov
The surname suggests the necessity of wiping the "drool off" the gentlemen's chins.

Lady Quethlock
???

Zhenski Tzrnogorski Institut
A little puzzle. Pronounced, the name is Croatian/Serbian. As written, it appears to be transliterated from Russian (Serbo-Croatian generally does not get transliterated at all). I wonder if the garble of languages betrays that the institute is phony. The name translates as "Montenegrin Female Institute." --Volver 08:09, 21 January 2007 (PST)
