In the morning, during work in the garden, Jeanne can be seen rummaging around in the beds - and occasionally over in the adjacent cemetery, searching around.
After lunch, during lessons, Ms. Lizzie steps out for a few minutes, leaving the children to do their sums. Jeanne, eyes shining with her secret, takes a small hoop (about as wide around as a dinner plate) out from under a fold of her skirt. It is a pair of thin supple branches, lashed together with straw and decorated with a single bedraggled ribbon. She shows it around quickly, and then tucks it back under her skirt.
She issues a general invitation. "Come to the garden later and play La Grace with me!"
<#ann: Celeste will try to find time during the day to sneak out to the gardens for a quick game. She will also suggest they play on Sunday afternoon when they have some free time.#>
<#court: Jeanne nods, eyes twinkling. "Sunday, down by the river, then. After church." #>
<#court: When people come out to the garden, she shows them how to play. She has collected a pile of sticks; traditionally a pair of people have one stick each and catch/toss the ring back and forth. Jeanne adapts it to however many people show up at once, so there could be many children/sticks in play at the same time. This gets a bit cumbersome so (if there are many at once) she will suggest a tournament. If there are not enough for that today, then Sunday. #>
