I was somewhat like Agnus; I would procrastinate until it was too late. I was smart enough to get B’s and C’s just doing the minimum. Didn’t learn self-discipline until much later in life and I still struggle with it. Good luck Agnus!
let’s hope that such a flying start of encouragement doesn’t briskly whisk agnes high over the bonfire of steel resolve and leave her to crash and burn despondently in the deep, dark pool of endless procrastination…

Don’t push it, Agnes. Grandma has opened the book for you. That may be as far as she is willing go with her help.

Agnes is talking about fanning the flames of ambition Grandma may fan Agnes’s fanny into flames to provide Agnes with the necessary ambition.

Agnes is certainly an eloquent speaker at least.

Part of Nature. Grannie tries and Agnes resists.

Grandma is a bit humorless. Poor Agnes.

Good Grandma to be there for Agnes. Make sure she does the work, instill that ethic.

I always use ink so if I made a mistake I could draw a single line through it and keep going without forgetting that I had made a mistake.

Maybe Grandma needs to take a belt to Agnes’s posterior

How Grandma keeps from strangling her is beyond me.
