Sigh. Okay. Uh, you've probably noticed I've been later with my posts recently: first responding after 2 days, then 3, and once longer. I've been getting kinda busy and overwhelmed lately with the school year approaching along with other things. I need to take a short break to sort stuff out before I can respond, probably until the end of this week-ish with the addition of a day, perhaps. I know you tend to prefer faster responses and all, so I'm really sorry, but after that I'll work on my post again. 

Though I'll ask you a quick question already so I can think of what I want Darlene to do in my spare time. So, say that Darlene comes back after three or four days. Would Duncan have left by then? And then, the same question for if she comes back after a week.
