Chapter 4 is now available for your reading pleasure.

I must have missed that comment. Thanks for pointing it out again. I'll address it tonight.

EDIT: I suppose I should fess up to having put this out with almost no feedback from the prereaders. I gave them some two and a half weeks -- I waited longer than I planned to specifically because one wrote me and asked me to give them a few more days, even. But only one gave me any indication that they'd read the whole chapter, two I know only read part of it, two had family issues that I knew would keep them from from even looking at it, and nobody else -- not even the prereader who normally pings me on every single typo and grammar error -- even responded. It's getting close to a month, now, and no one but the ones I cite above have communicated to me about it.
