A. Butterfield’s letter is a symbol of trouble and unrest. This letter summons Peter to the secret service headquarters where he is about to be questioned about Windfall, the very operation that Peter does not want to have to talk about because it was so terrible.

Peter’s hearing aids are a symbol of age and the associated feebleness. When Peter first meets Bunny, Bunny sees the hearing aids and at first treats Peter with some respect because of his age. Peter plays along with the idea that he is old by pretending that he has forgotten entirely about Windfall and his part in it.
