You've really done a lot of work this month--nice time management too. Getting up early is dedication!

Hemmings is Zack, yes? Or am I confused. For some reason he sounds older than usual in that passage.

Thanks. I wasn't up early, it was the others that were up late ;-)

Hemmings is Zack, yes. I'll need to play with his dialogue in that first section at a later point anyway. There are a couple of words and phrases elsewhere in it that don't fit his dialect, but I'm struggling to think of alternatives right now (on the Rail Replacement bus today, one of the girls behind me was making a joke aout her grandfather's use of 'sithee', which I think is a perfectly good word, although I'd probably use the long form 'see thee' in text).
