I did read this earlier when I was coherent - in between preschool, 3 kids doc appts [that ended in 2 more diagnoses of strep throat].
I freely admit to being of unsound mind at the moment and will say that I don't remember much except I expected Sman to show up as soon as she realized her rope was in the other room.
But I do remember enjoying it.
