- (160:3) "Shes what she is ..."
This paragraph is a quote from Lorna's "Why the Dog Wont Show Its Eyes".
The "dolly" shape Riddley draws here, as RW points out, looks quite like the silhouette of certain sheela-na-gigs. It's also the outline of the main part of Canterbury Cathedral, either the choir and nave or the crypt beneath; the dogs are running on the ground where the cathedral used to stand.
