Hi Plumjive, we often witter on about the importance of the opening line . . . I got confused [cultural thing, I know] and thought the 'lodge' was . . . in sequence:
1. a grand house -- no
2. a masonic lodge - they have weird rituals -- no
3. also thought of Orange Lodge but because of dismissing #2, nixed that thought
4. getting confused now -- beaver's lodge -- no
Oh FFS I'm getting really annoyed trying to work out what this is

. . . and that's before I managed to get any further.
If you could somehow clarify the lodge more precisely then the reader [and there could be more things like me out there, let's hope not, but hey] won't suffer any confusion or frustration. Even working through the first paragraph, because I didn't have a clear idea of what a lodge was and still wasn't any wiser until near the end of the
sixth sentence when sun-dance was mentioned I hadn't a lulu where I was.

I'd have been a lost reader because of the opening sentence.
