We stopped at ". . . what's that, what." (604.21)

How do you interpret the sentence, Bring us this days our maily bag? Apart from its biblical allusion, is it simply a way of asking Kevin, who is actually Shaun the postman, to bring us our mail/daily news/juicy news? Because we soon read, for instance, that hardworking straight walking . . . officials [are] butting their heads to the pillow . . . with the alter girl . . . and that the man was giddy on letties (ladies) . . .

The question is, amongst all these happenings, what is Coemghem (Kevin) doing? The vine has borne fruits but the public hatches (a hatch is an opening) are not yet open. The would be drinkers (besoakers) loiter on because they cannot yet enter. Irrespective of that the greek Sideral Reulthway (Railway) will soon be starting. None of this explains what Kevin is up to. Hopefully we shall find out about it in the next reading session.
