Aah! Now I see.

If you look at the last words of my original flight of fancy you will
see that I wrote I think you might have unwittingly stumbled on to
something! [See footnote]. The text at the foot of the article which
started this latest ramble was the 'footnote' in which I explained

intended to claim Lloyd's text as my own and indeed I would have
thought that the quote levels would have made that clear.
