| | The Yum-Yum Man |
 | | Broadhurst is immensely fat, immensely powerful, immensely old (Wharton finds evidence of him in a letter of Newton's describing a demon figure, in a passage from De Quincey about an apparition). |
 | | THE Fat Controller disappears: Wharton excels at school, grows up to be a direct marketer, climbs the corporate ladder. |
 | | But then the Fat Controller reappears as Samuel Northcliffe, tycoon, his fat fingers into everything, the market's personified id. He and Dr. Gyggle, his accomplice as it turns out, half convince Wharton that he is a multiple murderer and necrophile. |
