1.threadbare-what kind of material does this word usually refer to? How is nick using it here?
2.a turbaned 'character'?-why turbaned? Why is 'character' in quotation marks?
3.leaking sawdust at very pore-this is a very strange image.What is sawdust?What is a pore? Is it normal to have an image which combines the two? What is the effect of this combination?
4.pursued a tiger through the Bois de Boulogne-the Bois de Boulogne is a park in Paris.There are no tigers there.Why does Nick evoke this image?
