Jon, you are being both overly zealous and silly here.

My friends, if you just look at Chandle'sr production that I just posted and that I read all and reread in part, you will immediately realize that it extends in all directions, not only in the time sequential one.Chandler might have described the gestures of a bartender in a short story than reused it in a novel, than again used a piece of it in an other short story. His bent noses are just fantastic and we have seen them in countles movie. It is a texture not a sequence. So Ea is totally right and you Jon, you might appear to someone that does not like you and appreciate you like I do just a little argumentative for the sake of the argument. Big kisses to both. And let be peace and wisdom for all.
