Good choices, RW.  Those moments both mean mischief and/or murder. 

Durrell chooses interesting moments to make his human sacrifices.   How 
might we chart these deaths--suicides and murders, both real and staged? 

As someone who read quite a bit of Dickens, I am thinking about how the 
greatest "wood-chopping" novelist of the 19th century wood knock off 
characters to heighten tension in his serial runs.

C&c.
