View source for Talk:Mavolio Bent

Attempting to be ''very, very'', careful about what Wiki entries I choose to make from the new book {{MM}}, as it occurs to me that not every user of the Wiki may yet have access to the book, depending on publication dates in countries outside the UK. (And for Wiki users ''within'' the UK - it's out there! You have few excuses for not buying , although I'm sure you already have)

Therefore I am self-censoring anything that might conceivably be a "spoiler" to how the plot develops, and confining myself to characters and incidental detail. I am conscientiously sticking to what is already known about the book and the characters from the publisher's blurb cited on the {{MM}} stub page, and editing out anything over and above this - for now...  for instance, it's fair to drop a big hint as to the true nature of Mavolio Bent as the cat is already out of the bag in the blurb. TP does this himself - the moment [[Moist von Lipwig]] is informed of where Bent chooses to lodge(p231), Moist thinks he realises the awful truth...--[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 15:46, 21 September 2007 (CEST)

I wonder how many times I've read this name without noticing that the first "l" is missing.

Re: the {{wp|Panopticon|panopticon link}}. While Bent calls it "the panopticon of my little world", it's not related to Jeremy Bentham's idea. It's a mechanical desk that can spin like an anti-aircraft gun platform by treadle power to watch any part of the counting house. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 23:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
