She's more hyper than ever." Which I never would have thought was possible... She shook her head amusedly. "And yes, I'm trying out this Term. She managed to persuade me, which I never thought possible. Go figure."

She shook her head and then said, "I think that it was throwing fruit at me more than anything. My eye. Really, Ella!" She was talking in a scolding tone but then laughed to show that she was only joking. Really she had been amused and the cherries were very good.
