Christmas Party at the White Visitation

Während sich Slothrop bereits an der Riviera "erholt", wird in der White Visitation Weihnachten gefeiert und Pointsman bekommt von Maude Chilkes einen unerwarteten Blowjob verpaßt wie Jahrzehnte später Bill Clinton von Monica Lewinsky:
"A Victorian pose, her cheek against his leg, his high–veined hand against her face. But no one saw them, then or ever, and in the winter ahead, here and there, her look will cross his and she’ll begin to blush red as her knees, she’ll come to his room off the lab once or twice perhaps, but somehow they’re never to have this again, this sudden tropics in the held breath of war and English December, this moment of perfect peace. . . . " (169)

Christmas Bugs

"Christmas bugs. They were deep in the straw of the manger in Betheleham, they stumbled, climbed, fell glistening red among a golden lattice of straw that must have seemed to extend miles up and downward—an edible tenement–world, (…) A tranquil world: the temperature and humidity staying nearly steady, the day’s cycle damped to only a soft easy sway of light, gold to antique–gold to shadows, and back again. The crying of the infant reached you, perhaps, as bursts of energy from the invisible distance, nearly unsensed, often ignored. You savior, you see. . . ." (173–174)
