I have to say, Harriet's intransigence doesn't surprise me. This is the woman that editted RJ's books for all these years, after all - and didn't do a very good job, frankly. A really good editor could have tightened up the storylines and gotten rid of all the sniffing and clothing descriptions and 20 pages of braid pulling while calling men sheepherders. But maybe that's just me.
