What have you done to me?  Here I am, making Christmas cookies and the dough keeps getting warm and sticky.  I find myself thinking "Gee, Agnes is right.  I wish I was a vampire - it'd make doing this so much easier."  So I had to come and tell you.  Now my keyboard is all floury.  Better go finish the cookies.
SAY - will we get to see any of Agnes' cooking classes with Andrew?  You could teach us how to make some of the yummy things that keep making me hungry when I read this fic!   (except the devils on horseback...that's still giving me the wiggins.)
 Sorry I haven't replied before.  I had to laugh at the picture of you and your pastry!  Agnes would have suggested a rolling pin kept in the freezer for a couple of hours!

Next chapter of her adventures should be along fairly soon.  I am quite determined to tackle Something to Sing About this week. Am deeply ashamed at how long it is since I updated this.  I blame Agnes and Dorcas - and somehow I have to get the two of them together!

LOL at Agnes collecting Spike's debts for him.  Is drac staying around?  Hope he's up to no good.
 Well, he vanished fairly quickly the first time, didn't he?  We'll see what happens.

Oh I love it! Pity Agnes didn't think of demanding the interest, though.
 Yes!  That would have been extremely sensible of her.  Sadly, I'm not sure if she can do the math.

Nice little extra Agnes - thanks for the Holiday story -
 Pleasure.  I have 3 requests for Agnes for Christmas stories, but I think the others will be much shorter.  At least I hope they will.  My story for Storm Warning has turned into a whole new chapter and story arc!  I will hopefully be posting that soon.

I always though the Drac on Buffy was such an obvious poser vamp. Nice to see that Agnes wasn't easily swayed the way Buffy was at first.
 Yes, Agnes can see right through that mid European smarm!  Hand kissing indeed!

LOL!  Only Agnes could make Count Drac feel small!  Ah, True Love.  The saviour of all things good: Wesley (The Princess Bride), Harry Potter, Agnes Pringle.... 

Sorry for not reviewing the last chapter.  I love what you did with Andrew.  Agnes will be a very positive influence on him.

Wonderful update - again.  But please, don't tell me it "ends" here!  More, please, please!

 So pleased you enjoyed the Andrew chapter. Was worried when you didn't comment.  Some people dislike Andrew violently.  Yes, True Love, the saviour of everyone in the end!  And no, of course it isn't the end. I typed that to show it was a one off and not in sequence, but may go back and change it as it seems to be confusing quite a lot of people!

This was great! I loved how Aggie handled ol' Drac... lol!  And reading Aggie's thoughts was delightful as always. Thanks for sharing. :D
 Thank you for reading and taking the time to review. It certainly makes writing the stories seem that much more worth while.

"ends"?  you do mean that's the end of the chapter, right?

That was lovely - Agnes setting Drac in his place.  And getting Spike his 12 pounds (I have no idea how to make that pound mark...silly American...) was perfect.
Liking that she had cold hands to make pastry!  But not too fond of blood, I take it. 
Is she just generally opposed to milk in tea?  I prefer lemon and sugar, generally, but sometimes, I do like milk in it.  (Tried both once - such a bad idea.  Never thought about curdling until I'd already gone and ruined it.  Bleah!)  I'd hate to offend her!  :)

Is she just generally opposed to milk in tea? 

 No, don't worry, the 'ends' was just to show that it was a one off piece.  Right, regarding tea.  Drac asks for Oolong which is only ever drunk with lemon.   Agnes offers him English Breakfast, which is a type, stronger than Oolong. You can have it either with or without milk.   

My parents drank tea all day long.  In Chp 3 of my story Splinters, Spike tells Buffy exactly how to make a good cup of tea.  And the milk should always go in first!  Sugar to taste.   I think Agnes drinks her tea with milk and one teaspoon of sugar. She would like 2 teaspoonsful, but is watching her weight, of course.

Hee!  That was delightful. :)
 Thank you so much.

Thank you, thank you.  That made me laugh. 'Oh, if only her mother was alive to see this. '  Snort!
 Of course her mother would have fainted clean away at meeting Count Dracula!
