Lucy sighed. Of course Susie was quite distractable. She was quite a lot like her aunt Cordelia, when she'd been that age — not rambunctious, but easily distracted by things that captured her attention, and Lucy imagined it must be much worse with, as Miss Bentley said, so many classmates. "I hope she doesn't give you too much trouble," Lucy admitted, shifting to clasp her hands in front of her for a moment before relaxing. "She has shown a similar tendency at home, though likely not as much as she has here. After all, as you say, there is simply more to focus on here."
