<p>Yes. If I'm ever in a TV quiz show and have a chance to win a
million dollars for knowing which novel ends with the word "shoes"
I am, as people used to say in Britain, laughing tanners.
Seriously, what a fantastic ending that novel has.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Well, this did send me back to the text of
<i>To the Lighthouse</i> to find the sequence where Lily
praises Mr Ramsay's boots. The novel is actually full of
boots. There is an artist in Panama hat and yellow boots, Mrs
Ramsay reports that her husband would talk by the hour about
his boots, and Mr Bankes felt felt rigid and barren, like a
pair of boots that have been soaked and gone dry so that you
can hardly force your feet into them. A rough count in an
electronic text reveals that "boot" and its cognates occur 24
times in the novel. Is Van Gogh lurking somewhere in the text?<br>
