## Trivia

* Di does not appear in the short story as she is away with her in Bermuda to celebrate her parents' wedding anniversary.
* The story takes place in October and the awards ceremony is on Thursday, 29th of October, which is a week after Brian's birthday.  Marcy is due to leave for Los Angeles 'a week from Saturday' (p. 54) which is October 31.  So it seems likely the story commences around the time of Brian's birthday, but this is never mentioned.
