What I noticed especially as I reread was that the ending is so perfect and satisfying (even if you have to THINK about it at first and figure out what's going on). Even though at that point we've only known Eddis for a few pages, it's still touching to see her and Gen being so happy that everything's turned out alright(for now...). When I first read it, part of me was saying "Who IS this woman? Why is she suddenly so important?", but most of me liked her immediately, if only because she is presented as important to Gen, and enjoyed reading the ending. Such good writing! Of course, this time I was just smiling and whispering the lovely dialogue in my head and creaking with laughter delightedly. Yeah, I noticed the headband too. Quite fashionable in those parts, ain't it? Note: Gen can't "carry a tune". So now we know that when he sings he sings offkey ... Oh goody!
