It was the middle school finals, with Francine pitted against Ralph.
“Okay, Francine, spell the word GRANDILOQUENT,” instructed Mrs. Franklin who received the card from Mr. Greenberg, the physical education teacher.
Francine succeeded.
“Now, Ralph, spell the word CAN.”
Which he did.

Francine managed EPONYMOUS.
Mrs. Fisher took the card from Sam Greenberg, Ralph's uncle.
“And for something longer, can you spell the word PLAN, Ralph?”
