Betty is First Reader on this site. She is a good editor and critic, and I'm interested in her opinions; but I can always tell when she didn't particularly like something and I'm about to get a bad review.
She said, "You didn't tell about the time you and I went to that same mansion and saw Alan and Carla, together, when she was just his girlfriend." Actually, I had forgotten about that. Which, I think, was her point. "And", she further said, "you didn't mention his other son or his second wife."
I did remember them, but they didn't fit into the story I was telling. I think that's called Artistic Neglect. Anyway, I promised to write something else and work them in. This is it.
