I want to use the same initial small cap rule of [The Bone Clocks](https://www.google.com.tw/search?q=%22The%20bone%20clock%22%20wikipedia&oq=%22The%20bone%20clock%22%20wikipedia&gs_l=serp.3..33i21.4059.5805.0.5887.10.10.0.0.0.0.212.901.0j4j2.6.0.msedr...0...1c.1.64.serp..5.5.699.xlTwXw61kHs) by David Mitchell. But I still can't figure it out. Some examples:

> TALKING HEADS’ Fear of Music is on my record player, so I lower the stylus.
> 
> OUTSIDE NATWEST BANK on Milton Road, I run into Brendan.
> 
> ON MONDAY, I’LL get a key cut for Vinny’s front door, but today I go the usual secret way.
> 
> THE BACK DOOR’S never locked ’cause Vinny’s lost the key.
> 
> HOLLY SYKES AND the Weird Shit, Part 1.
> 
> BY THREE O’CLOCK, my whole head’s parched, not just my mouth.
> 
> AROUND FOUR O’CLOCK I get to a strip of shingly beach by a wooden groyne thing sloping into the river.
> 
> I FILL MY lungs with one of Brubeck’s Dunhills. That’s better.

The first phrases of the scene? But then how come the _and_ in HOLLY SYKES AND is also being included? I'm confused.
