It was called All you will need on your Parisian Trip ,
and the first phrase given was ‘Lace my stays, but not too tightly’ In the whole
room there was not such a thing as an atlas or a set of geometrical instruments
At eleven there was a break of ten minutes, and some of the girls played dull
little games at noughts and crosses or quarrelled over pencil-cases, and a few
who had got over their first shyness clustered round Dorothy’s desk and talked
to her They told her some more about Miss Strong and her methods of
teachings and how she used to twist their ears when they made blots on their
copybooks It appeared that Miss Strong had been a very strict teacher except
when she was ‘taken bad’, which happened about twice a week And when she
was taken bad she used to drink some medicine out of a little brown bottle, and
after drinking it she would grow quite jolly for a while and talk to them about
hex brother in Canada But on her last day- the time when she was taken so bad
during the arithmetic lesson-the medicine seemed to make her worse than
A Clergyman's Daughter 377
ever, because she had no sooner drunk it than she began sinking and fell across
a desk, and Mrs Creevy had to carry her out of the room
After the break there was another period of three quarters of an hour, and
then school ended for the morning Dorothy felt stiff and tired after three '
hours in the chilly but stuffy room, and she would have liked to go out of doors
for a breath of fresh air, but Mrs Creevy had told her beforehand that she must
come and help get dinner ready The girls who lived near the school mostly
went home for dinner, but there were seven who had dinner in the ‘morning-
room’ at tenpence a time It was an uncomfortable meal, and passed in almost
complete silence, for the girls were frightened to talk under Mrs Creevy’s eye
The dinner was stewed scrag end of mutton, and Mrs Creevy showed
extraordinary
dexterity
in serving the pieces of lean to the ‘good payers’ and
the pieces of fat to the ‘medium payers’ As for the three ‘bad payers’, they ate a
shamefaced lunch out of paper bags m the school-room
School began again at two o’clock Already, after only one morning’s
teaching, Dorothy went back to her work with secret shrinking and dread She
was beginning to realize what her life would be like, day after day and week
after week, m that sunless room, trying to drive the rudiments of knowledge
into unwilling brats But when she had assembled the girls and called their
names over, one of them, a little peaky child with mouse-coloured hair, called
Laura Firth, came up to her desk and presented her with a pathetic bunch of
browny-yellow chrysanthemums, ‘from all of us’ The girls had taken a liking
to Dorothy, and had subscribed fourpence among themselves, to buy her a
bunch of flowers
Something stirred m Dorothy’s heart as she took the ugly flowers She
looked with more seeing eyes than before at the anaemic faces and shabby
clothes of the children, and was all of a sudden horribly ashamed to think that
in the morning she had looked at them with indifference, almost with dislike
Now, a profound pity took possession of her The poor children, the poor
children 1 How they had been stunted and maltreated' And with it all they had
retained the childish gentleness that could make them squander their few
pennies on flowers for their teacher.
