    Summary

    "The next-to-smallest one, Dickon, he's got a beautiful burbling laugh, and he sat on my knee as meek as a church mouse even though we'd never been introduced before.

Like where to put her fingers and how to gasp with pleasure quietly enough that nobody else in the Manor overhears.
