Awww, thank you so much! It's always a thrill when someone finds this story and likes it. And comments, too! I liked that you caught my "citified" greenwood setting. I decided that their plans would have had to change with the war; there's no way they could have just lived together without causing a huge fuss just because they were able-bodied and not enlisting, let alone the rest.

I haven't written many outside observer stories and I enjoyed tryng George on. Glad you liked him too.
