We played croquet as kids long, long ago. When I saw the landed gentry play croquet years later on TV, I realize then our version had very little in common with theirs.
I have an idea playing with her requires ability to quickly duck, dodge and bolt. Would she like a planned hike while throwing, kicking and swinging? She would eventually be home to stretch out on the rug.
Based on her equipment, I suspect Agnes played a style of full-contact croquet that might leave one rather winded. I wonder who her opponent was, if not Trout.

I would think those big feet would get in the way of hitting the ball.

Sometimes communication is NOT the problem, the meaning was quite clearly understandable.

Maybe Agnes caught COPD from Grandma!

Wait. She hasn’t started chain-smoking generic cigarettes yet. I figure by age eleven or twelve.

Best be careful, Agnes. Violence is often its own reward.

To be fair, she was wearing a suit of armor… ☺
