...it's time to wrestle the current recalcitrant chapter into submission...

And DONE. And it's a GOOD chapter.

It isn't at all the chapter that I began with, to the extent that perhaps five paragraphs of that original chapter survive in this one, and even they are much changed and reshaped in order to fit into a new place. But nonetheless, the chapter is in the bag.

Tomorrow, onward.
