There are a couple of people in this story I would like to give a slap. On the other hand, it is amusing to watch them carry on as though it will have any real meaning, in the end.

I found Sody spelled Sodii, in my research. I was thinking maybe she didn't want to offend any actual people with this story. 1950, after all, wasn't terribly woman author-friendly. One had to tread lightly. And she's about to bury a bunch of them. Yes, I really am enjoying this story.
