Can I be completely honest? While I appreciate the idea of exploring minor characters to look at familiar events from a different point of view, by the time I was halfway reading this vignette I found myself bored... This lady makes a lot of thinking, but there's not much of a story here. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a good dose of introspection, but to captivate me it has to be intertwined with things actually happening.
(I hope this doesn't sound too harsh-it's just my opinion, after all)
