Frances meets Francis

Mark had an afternoon free a couple days ago, so we went for a little drive out to Groton School, where Frances' great-great-grandfather went to boarding school. The school puts the names of its graduates on the school room wall. Can you see the name second from the bottom on the left? It says F. C. Grant. That stands for Francis Clark Grant, who happens to be Frances' mother's father's mother's father and also an inspiration for her name.


Frances rewarded her parents' effort to show her a bit of her history by falling thoroughly asleep.


"No, no...don't wake me, please."


"I really can't be bothered."
