Bertha Strunk [sic] and Barbara Strozzi (perhaps an accreting series of Tweeets ?)

In chapter 8 of Russ Hoban's Barbara Strozzi, Phil Ockerman calls Bertha Strunk¹ ('her' chapter) to say that he's suddenly off to Scotland.

¹ In an exchange, reported at the novel's start, Hoban's already excavated (i.e. had Phil do it) the pun 'Bertha's trunk'.

Yet Strunk² ?
