I love it! And can you imagine the confusion if Hursel had said, "She's Czechoslovakian, and she's Czech, not Slovakian?"

Oh those party line busy bodies....nothing could be kept secret but this was so well written, why I could see Ollie with her apron up over her head and feel the joy and pain mixed together with prayers of thanks. Wonderful write dear Taps.

Wonderful scene.
I got into it so much so, that I have to say a smart party-line partner who wants to get the whole story would have kept her mouth shut... Great specifics and details you've put in - they just make the story come alive.
