(I am reunited with a scanner I can actually use! There will be two more updates tomorrow and Friday, and then back to weekly posts until I get to the end of the epilogue. Now, on with the show…)

NOTE: I’m going to be visiting my parents over Christmas, and I have no idea if I’ll be able to work their temperamental scanner. So, if I can’t, I’ll get the rest of Chapter Seventeen up in January, then go straight on to the epilogue. See you then if I don’t see you before.
