Ah, 'tis the lovely Lady NattieShea once again, come to lighten up our day. Thank you, Ma'am!

Without question you spent many hours and much of your summer "fun time" working on this most ambitious project. Not only did you finish it, as they say 'round my neck o' the woods, "Ya done good!."

Now for the real question. The proof of the pudding, so to speak, about any worthwhile exercise like the one you just finished is always "What did you learn about yourself from all this?" If Dickens could only see the world around him through the lens of his own experience, does that teach you anything about the rest of us?

P.S. These are the best kind of questions - there's no grade for your answer.

P.P.S. And thanks again, NattieShea. And thank your Dad for calling me to your latest project.

"Thank you, Ma'am!"

You are welcome. There will be more!

"What did you learn about yourself from all this?"

In the begining I didn't think that it would be as hard as it was. That was somewhat started by reading A Christmas Carol first. It was easier reading than say, Great Expectations. I had to drag myself through that book!
