There are women m such places, and
especially derelict gentlewomen m ill-paid jobs, who go for years upon end m
almost utter solitude It was not long before Dorothy found herself m a
perpetually low-spirited, jaded state m which, try as she would, nothing
seemed able to interest her And it was in the hateful ennui of this time-the
corrupting ennui that lies in wait for every modem soul- that she first came to a
full understanding of what it meant to have lost her faith
She tried drugging herself with books, and it
succeeded
for a week or so But
after a while very nearly all books seemed wearisome and unintelligible; for the
mind will not work to any purpose when it is quite alone In the end she found
that she could not cope with anything more difficult than a detective story She
took walks of ten and fifteen miles, trying to tire herself into a better mood, but
the mean suburban roads, and the damp, miry paths through the woods, the
naked trees, the sodden moss and great spongy fungi, afflicted her with a

deadly melancholy It was human companionship that she needed, and there
seemed no way of getting it At nights when she walked back to the school and
looked at the warm-lit windows of the houses, and heard voices laughing and
gramophones playing within, her heart swelled with envy Ah, to be like those
people in there-to have at least a home, a family, a few friends who were
interested in you 1 There were days when she pined for the courage to speak to
strangers m the street Days, too, when she contemplated shamming piety m
order to scrape acquaintance with the Vicar of St George’s and his family, and
perhaps get the chance of occupying herself with a little parish work, days,
even, when she was so desperate that she thought of joining the YWCA
But almost at the end of the holidays, through a chance encounter at the
library, she made friends with a little woman named Miss Beaver, who was
geography mistress at Toot’s Commercial College, another of the private
schools in Southbridge Toot’s Commerical College was a much larger and
more pretentious school than Ringwood House-it had about a hundred and
fifty day-pupils of both sexes and even rose to the dignity of having a dozen
boarders-and its curriculum was a somewhat less blatant swindle It was one
of those schools that are aimed at the type of parent who blathers about ‘up-to-
date business training’, and its watch-word was Efficiency, meaning a
tremendous parade of hustling, and the banishment of all humane studies One
of its features was a kind of catechism called the Efficiency Ritual, which all the
children were required to learn by heart as soon as they joined the school It
had questions and answers such as
Q What is the secret of success’
A The secret of success is efficiency
Q What is the test of efficiency’
A The test of efficiency is success
And so on and so on It was said that the spectacle of the whole school, boys
and girls together, reciting the Efficiency Ritual under the leadership of the
Headmaster-they had this ceremony two mornings a week instead of
prayers-was most impressive
Miss Beaver was a prim little woman with a round body, a thm face, a
reddish nose, and the gait of a guinea-hen After twenty years of slave-driving
she had attained to an income of four pounds a week and the privilege of ‘living
out’ instead of having to put the boarders to bed at nights She lived in
‘rooms’-that is, m a bed-sitting room-to Which she was sometimes able to
invite Dorothy when both of them had a free evening How Dorothy looked
forward to those visits' They were only possible at rare intervals, because Miss
Beaver’s landlady ‘didn’t approve of visitors’, and even when you got there
there was nothmg much to do except to help solve the crossword puzzle out of
the Daily Telegraph and look at the photographs Miss Beaver had taken on her
trip (this trip had been the summit and glory of her life) to the Austrian Tyrol
in 1913 But still, how much it meant to sit talking to somebody in a friendly
way and to drink a cup of tea less wishy-washy than Mrs Creevy’s' Miss
Beaver had a spirit lamp in a japanned travelling case (it had been with her to
the Tyrol in 1913) on which she brewed herself pots of tea as black as coal-tar.
