Note: 
In the fictions there are both "Lon Quick" (4 texts) and "Solon Quick" (3 texts, all later). These might be two different names for same character, and Brooks indexes 'him' that way, as 'QUICK, SOLON, 'LON.'" But others (Dasher, Kirk) separate them into two different characters with almost the same name, and that's what we have chosen to do too.
