Agnes had woken up, but had not yet gotten out of bed. She liked to rest in bed before she actually had to get up and greet the day. An open book was next to her on the bed, but she wasn't actually reading it at the moment. She'd fallen asleep while reading it by candlelight last night.
She sat up when she heard the knock, knowing it would be Ginger who would walk in. She was quite adept at telling Ginger and Marta's knocks apart. Once Ginger had entered, she signed a quick, "Good morning," with a smile.
