And my friend Eric’s book Proust’s Overcoat (he translated). An overcoat might be bought for life! Good ones very expensive, like now, and evidence of style and class. Very personal.

I'd completely forgotten about Widmerpool & his coat, I should have another look! Of course anything involving a heavy coat makes me think of Gogol's "Overcoat". Oddly (or maybe not?) the Nabokov line that I quote at the beginning of an old blog post about the Gogol could apply to A Dance, too.
