I find myself wanting to grant,
Egstatly
to this excellent remark by Grice as overheard by someone as coming from Austin's lips and cited by Chapman, p. 33:
"If they (the playgroup)
don't want (need, cfr. -- the floor 'wants' sleeping; those spots 'mean' measles)
to follow me, whom do they want to follow?"
Unless he was not being rhetorical, and the expected answer (by Tapper?) was: "G. A. Paul?"

"Follow" is perhaps the wrong verb. In Ancient Rome, they referred to 'disciples,' rather!
