assumed to articulate (question) what the child wants across the room, as if things could be called
watching "you" speak as a description in place of that picture, the dog whose tongue is out (gesture)

can be carried from one place to another by means of a complex of structures whose values (aesthetic)

relative to the child who has disappeared on the one hand (ambiguous) on a plane in the second chapter
before this one, the rock falling on the other (nothing) instead of thinking she has changed her mind,
the orchestra at that point taking over (volume) for the man who otherwise would be speaking of this
