(W) Oh my! Well don’t let it hop away!
(e) i came to show you cause it’s really small and - look how tiny! it’s a baby frog! like eddie!!
(W) It’s very cute! Does it have a name?
(e) yes! his name is earl frogersson actually cause i found him in the middle of the pond like a little earl :3
(W) Aww! Edgar, that’s adorable!
(e) mhm! he’s the earl of the back pond. or she. if the earls a she she’d be earl frogersdottir. girls can be earls too, that’s what cristina says.
if my uncle dies and i become king ill be extra super nice to you and earl harold and eddie i promise.
(W) Well your sister seems to know what she’s talking about. And since Earl Frogersdottir is earl of the back pond, perhaps we should return her to her lands, don’t you think? Can’t have her hopping around the house after all!
Aw, Edgar… That’s very sweet of you.
(e) okay! ill put her back now.
mhm! it’s cause you guys are my friends :3
(W) Did you see other little froggies in the pond?
(e) yeah i saw a lot! this was the only one i could catch though
(W) They are hard to catch, aren’t they? I’m very impressed!
There we go, into the pond now!
(e) yeah they jump sooo fast! i think eddie will be good at catching frogs.
bye bye earl frogersdottir. or son.
(W) If you show him how, I’m sure he will be!
Bye bye!
(e) i will when he’s big enough!
wynfred, have you ever played chess?
(W) I have, many times! Harold is a pretty good player himself.
(e) could you teach me? daddy said he would when i was older. and he taught margaret and cristina but… you know.
please?
(W) Of course I’ll teach you! And when Harold has some free time, I’m sure he’d love to play a game with you too.
