I tried, but figured Agnes could not have had the time to curl her hair.
The following is Copperfield’s description, after moving in with the Wickfields: “I cannot call to mind where or when, in my childhood, I had seen a stained glass window in a church. Nor do I recollect its subject. But I know that when I saw her turn round, in the grave light of the old staircase, and wait for us, above, I thought of that window; and I associated something of its tranquil brightness with Agnes Wickfield ever afterwards.” – Charles Dickens, David Copperfield

Wonderful how you captured a complexity of character in her eyes. I’m not sure of her personality in the story, but she seems like a serene, intelligent, thoughtful person, but someone who could give you a good scolding if you deserved it!

Ha, ha! I wish Dickens had given her more backbone, but he never gave any women much chutzpah. That attitude was all too common in the 1840’s.

Lovely. It’s incredible how much realism you’ve managed to cram into so few lines/marks on the page.

Thanks Elizabeth. I guess the text and lines from the scrap paper add a touch of artistic reality too! After Kevin, another SkADaMoer, made a positive comment about the marks, I started to embrace them!
