[Becky is sitting near the front of the class again—she'd been present for the previous class as well—mostly so she wouldn't need to try to look over or around anyone sitting in front of her; being as small as she is can be problematic at times, so she does what she can to avoid it being a problem.

Of course, being seated near the front means she might also be expected to be one of the first students to speak.]

I volunteer at the infirmary pretty regularly, Lady Cromwell, and I'm hoping that taking this class will help me to be more of a help there. [She's hoping both classes will help her with that, actually. It probably comes as no surprise to any of the other students that have seen her there.]
