Shirley and Margaret are just impossibly cute. There’s no other way to describe them. I hope they do manage to marry each other (by no means a certainty).

If the Grand Ellipse were a Jane Austen novel, the Great Plot Complication when our hero and heroine realize they can never marry would just have happened. And in fact the Great Plot Complication is that classic Austen barrier—money. Bit of a twist on who has it and who doesn’t—actually now that I think about it, that’s rather un-Austenlike—but the same old problem.

I see a few ways Shirley and Margaret can resolve their dilemma (and I just suggested a particularly outrageous one) or have it resolved for them, but a genuine Happy Ending would require some GM ex machina, I suspect.

If I know our GM, though, she’ll have a few more plot twists in store. We shall see.
