This is delightful, Ereme. I am sure that Robert is envious that even the parodies of Miss Barrett's chestnuts are better than those of his.
But as to Roger's wonder, which is not to say his poor finger, I suspect that "quaquaversal" is a neologism for aesthetes in re the mise en abime of the autotelic character of subjective universal judgement of the well wrought urn, among other objects of scholarly scrutiny.
Or it could be a word with common use to describe a fake doctor, in this case named Art, changing his mind so very often, for the common use of "maze" as a verb down South, in the mouth of my Grandma from Arkansas, God rest her soul and tongue, is, as my Webster's Third has it, "Chiefly Southern U.S. 1. To bewilder or astonish." But my maze--Shut my mouth!--is that a Yorkshire musician should speak with a Southern drawl. Nuff zed, I should guess, to you Neh Yawkehs.
