I've been reading all of your works for the last few days, and all of it is great.  I've really been enjoying the new point of view in this one, Agnes is just wonderful!  But the whole time, I've been thinking to myself, "Now who does she remind me of?"  When I read her insight of Hank Summers, who btw, I thought you hit off PERFECTLY, I was like, "Oh, how Miss Marple!"  And that's when it hit me, Agnes Pringle is what would happen if Miss Marple had been turned!!!
This is a great story, but please, pretty please, don't forget about Future Imperfect, because I'm dying to know what the first Slayer wants with Joyce and Billy.
 Delighted that you are enjoying Agnes' adventures in Sunnydale.  Of course, as Agnes would say, she is considerably younger than Miss Marple and not nearly as clever.   But she can knit and I don't think we ever saw Jane Marple cook!

And yes, I haven't forgotten Future Imperfect but have to finish WWRT first because FI is going into a long story arc and I need to be on top of it!   Well, that's my excuse, anyway!

Do you like WWRT, by the way?

What a way to slip Hank in there.  Agnes is always thinking of others, she really is delightful.  A tea-shop so that Dawn can have a job.  I loved the bit at the beginning about the bottle of red liquid and half a scone.  Your details are wonderful.  Thanks for sharing this story.   Two more chapters to catch up with!
 I thought Hank might have come for Buffy's funeral and to generally see what was going on. Glad you are enjoying the story.

Lovely lady, thank you so much for continuing this marvelous little story (which grows and grows).  I have been reading on it for about 6 months or so it seems and I've loved every little tidbit about Miz Anges.  Totally amazing story that you are weaving, with all the glorious embellishments.  There is a sweetness to the story exhibited in the pacing which is just lovely.  What a big hearted person Miz Agnes is and how grateful I am that I am getting to know her.  Thank you so much for your hard work and fine writing.
 Hi and I am so thrilled that you are enjoying Business as Usual so much.  Agnes is a delightful person to write about and I hope you will continue to enjoy her little adventures in the future.  Thank you for taking the time and trouble to review and comment.

I wonder how many people would object if Agnes made a snack of Hank Summers. He's a complete jerk.

HIs youngest has lost her mother and her sister in short order and now he wants to take her home and put her with strangers at her age.He definitely counts as evil.
 A weak manl. Never understood how he was Buffy's father!

agnes' quick reading of hank was so miss marple (who i love.) very good read, thank you.
 Thank you very much.

yay agnes!
I do so love her interactions backstage.
I thought Hank didn't come to Buffy's funeral?  Maybe that's just in fanfic I've read, not canon.  I"m surprised at his red-rimmed, eyes, though! 
 In my world he does attend the funeral!   And I think he would have been upset, because he isn't a bad man, just weak.

Love this!  The incidenti conversation with Hank really does nudge things in a new direction.  Great idea.  Love Agnes.  Thanks!
 Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to read and review. Much appreciated.

Buffy's dad is so concerned!!!!  What a git.  I trust Agnes will come to the rescue again.
 I think so.  And she really needs to be in the centre of town where it's all happening.  Not that she'll actually notice, but I need her there.

What a lovely idea, Agnes! But if you can find a way to stick it to Hank Summers, I won't object.
 I think being completely ignored by the bank manager might have knocked a bit out of Hank's air of self-importance!  Glad you like the idea of the teashop.  Oh, she's going to have such fun.

I enjoyed Aggie's adventures in the bank. Next time Aggie should wear pants instead of a dress, that should keep her legs from smoking. ;) Her talk with Hank Summers was very insightful, in sad kind of way... that man is a total insentive jerk! Loved that Mr. Grant completely bypassed ol' Hank in favor of Aggie. And good for Aggie! Opening a tea room/ bakery is a great idea. :D Fantastic chapter!
 Agnes wear trousers!  Perish the thought.  Her mother would have instilled in her that only girls who were "fast" wore trousers!

I wondered who there was left for Agnes to meet!  Oh, and you managed to make Hank into even more of a lout than he usually is - very creative thinking, and so in character!
 I've always seen Hank Summers as a weak, confused,  probably basically decent but wanting an easy, trouble free existence.  I always, for some reason, get the feeling that he likes  money a lot and would feel it wrong for Dawn to be living in a bigger house than he has!  

Oh and Agnes has quite a few people to meet yet!  She'll be teaching one of them to cook very soon.
