I admit it - I needed to know that this is your story to venture into such a long tale about Eileen, Tobias and Sybill ;-) And I don't regret it, you give them such individual voices (Tobias' dialect was fun to read) and nobody would ever be able to guess that you do not like the character of Sybill, you treat her with as much respect as everybody else. The last sentences don't contradict this statement ;-), and they are such an unforgettable end ... leaving your reader with such a feeling of pity/regret... Thanks, Minervas_Eule
