Agnes's advice to Spike was excellent.  Though so were his responses!  :D
Thank you!  I agree.

Such a delightful point of view from Agnes observing the going ons in SunnyD - I love the snapshots of events you're giving from her perspective.
thank you so much for your comments. Glad you're enjoying Agnes and her life in Sunnydale. It's about to get even more complicated...

Spike might have done better giving her some of Agnes' pastries (sans the blood)...if she knew more about Agnes she might begin to see that vamps have more individuality and wide variety than she ever imagined - maybe including Spike.
Absolutely, because we all know what he ended up doing with the box of chocolates, don't we?! And yes, I've always felt vampires should have been given a lot more individuality rather than just lurking monsters. Dalton and Sunday were great.

“Sometimes we want you to be what we think you could be if you tried.

Wonderful line!
thank you! Always keen and anxious to know what you think.

your hands were so cold, they were ideal for making pastry! ROFL and at Spike stealing a box of chocolates for Buffy - we all know how well that will work out. Hope Spike doesn't eat them all while he's practicing.
If I remember correctly, he smashed the box to pieces!
Obviously Aggie's lessons weren't enough.

OH I wonder if it will work
Well, judging by the way Spike smashed the box of chocolates into pieces when he was practising, I think he needed another lesson or two from Agnes!

This is such a well written story, so original and yet fits events so well! I hope there is a happy ending for Agnes, bravely keeping her standards up in the face of everything.
thank you so much for your kind remarks. Glad you're enjoying the story. I think Agnes's contribution to life in Sunnydale has been badly overlooked!

Just wanted you to know that I have been reading this story from the very beginning and have enjoyed every update. I love Agnes, she's such a proper british matron, she makes me smile. :)

(Sorry, I'm one of those people who reads but doesn't always comment. Even when I really like a story. I'm also thinking there are proably a lot of others reading this story, because it really is "just to good to miss". :D )
Dear Anon462, how very kind of you to break silence and let me know that you are enjoying BAU and Agnes. Honestly, it makes such a difference to a writer, even if people don't like the story, you need to know they are reading it. Anyway, thrilled you are enjoying Agnes and her adventures.

Well, I've got a pretty good idea which box of chocolates it is we're talking about, and a poor box it is after Spike gets through with it, what with his tantrums & all...Silly man... Do you think that they actually use either one of their heads for real thinking?
I once had my fiance give me a lovely, huge, handmade Victorian-styled Valentines card that he bought me at an American Civil War Re-enactment event...on the way home in the jeep, he slaps his forehead, and says, "Oh, Damn, I forgot to get Mom something for Valentines...Do you think I can borrow YOUR card?"....like, I just wanted to LOOK at it for a few minutes, not KEEP it or anything for MY OWN old age! Geez, guys just don't get the whole sentiment thing.
Love the story, great update. As usual, am demanding more!

I do hope you hit him over the head with it! Men! That's about the best comment I can make. So pleased you are still enjoying the story.

LOL.....love this relationship. The so proper Agnes would asuredly have stopped that dreadful choice of who to break the "I love you" to Buffy! He needs to listen to our girl.

WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS....INSPIRED!!!!

So pleased you liked this chp. I am supposed to be updating Forever and a Day, and had written half a page when Agnes demanded that i told the story of her and the chocolates! Sighs. She's a hard taskmistress.
Just wish more people were reading the story.

'Luckily, one of the pluses of being a vampire cook was that your hands were so cold, they were ideal for making pastry!' Good ol' Aggie, I love how she found something about her vampiric state that is beneficial. ;)
Great Spike/Agnes interaction, I like how Agnes' advice is tying into another Spike scene from the show. I also enjoyed learning a bit more about Agnes' past. I hope she finds a gentleman friend in this story, Aggie truly deserves someone to come calling. :)
Congrats on the well deserved noms!!!

Thank you for congrats. I am just so pleased that people like Agnes. Just wish a few more were reading! Maybe she is an acquired taste. As for a future boyfriend....hmmm, let me think....

Very funny -- Spike is such a guy!
Absolutely!
