Have never
Held you naked, nor any other;
Longed for,

A Clergyman’ s Daughter 383
was secretly amazed and delighted to find that she had got hold of an assistant
who was actually willing to work When she saw Dorothy spending her own
money on textbooks for the children, it gave her the same delicious sensation
that she would have had m bringing off a successful swindle She did, however,
sniff and grumble at everything that Dorothy did, and she wasted a great deal
of time by insisting on what she called ‘thorough correction’ of the girls’
exercise books But her system of correction, like everything else m the school
curriculum, was arranged with one eye on the parents Periodically the
children took their books home for their
parents’
inspection, and Mrs Creevy
would never allow anything disparaging to be written in them Nothing was to
be marked ‘bad’ or crossed out or too heavily underlined, mstead, m the
evenings, Dorothy decorated the books, under Mrs Creevy’s dictation, with
more or less applauding comments m red ink ‘A very creditable performance’,
and ‘Excellent 1 You are making great strides Keep it up 1 ’ were Mrs Creevy’s
favourites All the children in the school, apparently, were for ever ‘making
great strides’, in what direction they were stridmg was not stated The parents,
however, seemed willing to swallow an almost unlimited amount of this kind of
thing
There were times, of course, when Dorothy had trouble with the girls
themselves The fact that they were all of different ages made them difficult to
deal with, and though they were fond of her and were very ‘good’ with her at
first, they would not have been children at all if they had been invariably
‘good’ Sometimes they were lazy and sometimes they succumbed to that most
damnable vice of schoolgirls-giggling For the first few days Dorothy was
greatly exercised over little Mavis Williams, who was stupider than one would
have believed it possible for any child of eleven to be Dorothy could do
nothing with her at all At the first attempt to get her to do anything beyond
pothooks a look of almost subhuman blankness would come into her wide-set
eyes Sometimes, however, she had talkative fits in which she would ask the
most amazing and unanswerable questions For instance, she would open her
‘reader’, find one of the lllustrations-the sagacious Elephant, perhaps-and ask
Dorothy
‘Please, Miss, wass ’at thing there’’ (She mispronounced her words m a
cunous manner )
‘That’s an elephant, Mavis ’
‘Wass a elephant’’
‘An elephant’s a kind of wild animal ’
‘Wass a animal’’
