A lot of important stuff happens in this chapter, so I've been a while writing it. As I often do, I allow ideas that come to me during writing free rein to see where they go. On 116, I wound up making two very long excursions that I ultimately decided not to use. One or both might eventually wind up in Beth Outtakes. Be prepared, as this chapter is a shade over 19K words, and should be published sometime tonight (or tomorrow morning if you're on the other side of the world).
