Yes, I couldn't quite find a way to describe the various feelings and
emotions in this section.  I didn't mean  to overlook or undermine the
sodality. I really like Brae and the other girls. I'm not sure what it
is I like so much, but I do think P is very good at creating young
characters. The young boys Benny meets on the train, Prairie and her
mall friends come to mind.
