Good line by Chekhov, I'll add it to my storyboard. I've never been fond of him as an author, but the quote is excellent.
The distinction between show and tell is a hard one to grasp sometimes, and it just takes practice. H is one of those characters that may very well end up with a life, death, several chapters between, but never make it to long stage. It's hard to say how far she'll go. She's a good character and a strong one in her own right, but she just doesn't really strike me as novel material.
Whoops - gotta get into the shower and get moving or I'll end up late for work.
