Condolences re Vivian Dorsel, another committed, if unknown to many, toiler in the literary vineyards. But what a tease! You are good at getting your character up a tree just as the motor of the chain saw roars to life. I also like your use of the adjective nacreous. Somehow my first association was with nail polish!
I started reading with the expectation that you were going to confess to stealing Finbar from Vivian. Instead, I was so glad and moved to find your tribute to the great and sorely missed Vivian Dorsel. Hey, your story's OK too.

Thanks, Mary. Up a tree is right. And as usual, things only get worse. Oddly enough, nacreous makes me think of nail polish, too. I wonder why.

Oh, ye of little faith! :) But the story is only the occasion, giving me a chance to talk about Vivian. I really do miss her.
