texture · congenital; noted YDAU

When: Congenital; restated 20 Nov YDAU.
What: Mario is a true homodont — every one of his teeth is an identical second bicuspid, "like a porpoise" (n.119) — a torment for Ted Schacht, who avoids him to resist the urge to examine his mouth. The trait is restated in scene 170's digression on Mrs. Tavis's teeth.
