THOUGHTS re "My Cue"

Body
Although not an authority on LOLITA, I happen to know that some commentators deny Quilty the independent existence as a character and believe him to be a figment of mad Humbert's imagination. Considering Humbert's constant appeals to the jury, perhaps the name Quilty, of the man who looks like Humbert's alter ego and double, is a play on "guilty"? In that case the title of Vivian Darkbloom's biography, "My Cue," would have a different meaning yet (hinting at the fact that Q was substituted for G by Nabokov, Vivian's anagramatic alter ego).
