Home is where, when you go there, they get right up your nose.This little story is about Hart Schmidt going home for the holidays. As it traditional in many families, the roles are long-established and play themselves out every time people are all together.But this time, Hart has to defend his role as a low-level diplomat, and it's interesting to watch him work through what it is he's doing and why it's important to him.Although it is far outside the main flow of the story as we understand it so far, it's a nice character piece on why the work is important.Read if: You enjoy family dynamics and stirring speeches.Skip if: You are impatient to get on with the mainline of the story.
