In which there is an unexpected change of schedule.

This is one of those chapters that I’d probably have things to say if I were reading it for the first time, but since I’m re-reading my reaction is mainly “Yep, that’s pretty much how I remember it going”.

It’s a day later and Priscilla still has the odd-numbered off-shift, which is a point against there being an odd number of shifts in the day. Allowing for rounding to the nearest hour, her statement that there’s an hour to the shift change is consistent with a day comprising four seven-hour shifts, the same as Elthoria had. Nice to have that settled, even if it is just in time for it not to matter any more.
