Thanks for coming back,
Richard, and for nudging me about the star student etc. I've made the character more imaginative, which seems to me more interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.
Matt,
Thanks for your detailed thoughts and suggestions.

That reading hadn't occurred to me. I've lower-cased, to avoid the possible confusion. I mean the word to be a verb, but it might be stronger to follow your suggestion and make it a sound. I'll ponder.
I'll also ponder that apostrophe. Getting rid of it would have the virtue of simplifying.
And I'll ponder the title.
Many thanks.
