Thanks, Jon! As to getting a sense of the novel as a whole, I'm sure you're right. But - I wrote it piecemeal, using Scrivener (the best novel-writing software ever!), and I knew some time ago that this particular chapter would have to be rewritten, based on what I'd learned about the characters and their situation.
I just rewrote it today - it may need a bit more refining, but I will wait a while to do that. There are just one or two more additions I'll want to make to a couple of other chapters - and then, I promise, I will stop tinkering, send it out to my beta readers, and try to see what I've got. I'll definitely leave it alone while waiting for feedback.
But, in the meantime - I can hardly believe I got this far! :)
