Thanks for the great insights, issy. I hadn't picked up on the anti-Semitism but of course it would have been there. (I think for example of Groucho Marx being refused membership of a swimming club and saying that as his daughter was only half-Jewish, could she join and just go into the water up to her waist. It's funny, but he was using humour to highlight prejudice.)
Yes, at the end I thought immediately that Dolores could not have lived much beyond Humbert, and that's why I went back to reread the Introduction.
