POTENTIAL SPOILERS -- please don't read this post if you have not read the book, and intend to do so in the future.
I've read this book twice (it is one of my favorites). There is a part at the end which I have never understood, and maybe someone here can help explain it.
After George Mouse confesses to Auberon that Sylvie may be his (George's) daughter, he, Auberon and Fred take off into the woods. George is unable to follow them, and he has a hallucinatory experience involving a watch and a pipe. Anyway, at the end of this experience, he seems to end up back home, at the Old Law Farm.
I read this to mean that because of his involvement with a woman that he suspected could be his own daughter, he was rejected and sent back home.
HOWEVER, he later greets Daily Alice at the river, and he's also present at the banquet.
Any ideas?
