Thanks, maybe I will, but I really don't like to suck up people's time. Given the time difference, I usually see your responses in the middle of my night. I try to read them on the iPhone and I invariably forget they were there because I'm really asleep when I see them.
The point about Susan is well taken. I have something short already. the real issue is that if Mrs. P. is recognizing Susan is going to be leaving school and at least headed off for somewhere to do something -- does mom see France is in the picture, or is that just too remote? -- there is less for her to discuss with Polly. How much does mom understand/see at this point? One approach is that Mrs. P. sees all this, and recognizes as a matter of patriotic duty and maternal pride, that she cannot keep Susan back, but she still wants to know how and why and the details.
I've not written much in a full day and am sort of stuck at 12,000 words. ugh.
