I'm currently editing a scene in which the main PoV character is observing a giant meeting. She is emphatically not the main actor at the meeting. They're discussing strategy; she's just a junior officer acting as an aide.
How do I go about this? What good examples are there of such a thing? I suppose imagine the Council at Rivendell, but told from the close PoV of Pippin or Merry. Is this even a good idea?
I think the main thing devilling me is how much of her observations to have and how much meeting to have.
Also - is sentence construction along the lines of the following acceptable?
"Blah blah blah," said X, and Y wondered how on earth he didn't put himself to sleep. "Rhubarb blah rhubarb my ears are full of custard."
Thank you for all and any help.
