I'm guessing the book references/channels Ravel's ballet or Offenbachs opera of the same name - Daphnis et Chloé. So they could argue -- given the ampersand is derived from 'Et' its usage is faithful to the French rendition of the original Δάφνις καὶ Χλόη, (Daphnis kai Chloē). Bit of long bow but -- and would they have the wit. Probably best to let it go through to the keeper
