North Pole
the North Pole
also: Северный полюс
The earth's northernmost point, invoked here purely as a hyperbolic byword for extreme cold rather than as an actual setting.
Reading notes
- The Liberal §52 the North Pole
Invoked in the mock-will's list purely as a byword for the ends of the earth, alongside cocottes and eau de cologne.
- Revenge §62 North Pole
Invoked hyperbolically for the box office's cold, not as a real destination -- one of the story's several jokes about the theater's threadbare, unheated provincial poverty.
