I truly appreciate your assessment of the Reardon Steel chain that Hank gave to Lillian. I simply missed the potential of all the when I first read the book last year. You really nailed it for me. I am often slow on such things. Thanks for posting.
Admittedly I rushed through the book because I suppose that I felt somehow denied that I had not read the thing 20 or 30 years ago. Bad me.
I'll be reading it again soon.
I think that your post concerning the issue is profound.
Thanks again.
Ping to Chapter 2.
