I believe the narrator in chapter twenty-four to be a ghost. After Sam's blog cued me into the definition of tralatitious, I realized that the narrator in this particular chapter must not be in the human form.
He writes, "Direct interference in a person's life does not enter our scope of activity, nor, on the other, tralatitiously speaking, hand, is his destiny a chain of predeterminate links . . ." (553).
As Sam found, tralatitious means figurative or metaphorical, not literal, implying a hand that is not in the flesh.
