Thou mayest see that odour is create
Of larger primal germs than voice, because
It enters not through stony walls, wherethrough
Unfailingly

Wherefore, besides, thou wilt observe 'tis not
So easy to trace out in whatso place
The smelling object is.

Miss ’
Dorothy
dispatched
a messenger, but it was too late Mavis remained in
latebra pudenda till twelve o’clock Afterwards, Mrs Creevy explained
privately to Dorothy that Mavis was a congenital idiot- or, as she put it, ‘not
right m the head’ It was totally impossible to teach her anything Of course,
Mrs Creevy didn’t ‘let on’ to Mavis’s parents, who believed that their child
was only ‘backward’ and paid their fees regularly Mavis was quite easy to deal
with You just had to give her a book and a pencil and tell her to draw pictures
and be quiet But Mavis, a child of habit, drew nothing but pothooks
-remaining quiet and apparently happy for hours together, with her tongue
hanging out, amid festoons of pothooks
But in spite of these minor difficulties, how well everything went during
those first few weeks 1 How ominously well, indeed 1 About the tenth of
November, after much grumbling about the price of coal, Mrs Creevy started
to allow a fire m the schoolroom The children’s wits brightened noticeably
when the room was decently warm And there were happy hours, sometimes,
when the fire crackled in the grate, and Mrs Creevy was out of the house, and
the children were working quietly and absorbedly at one of the lessons that
were their favourites Best of all was when the two top classes were reading
Macbeth , the girls squeaking breathlessly through the scenes, and Dorothy
pulling them up to make them pronounce the words properly and to tell them
who Bellona’s bridegroom was and how witches rode on broomsticks, and the
girls wanting to know, almost as excitedly as though it had been a detective
story, how Birnam Wood could possible come to Dunsinane and Macbeth be
killed by a man who was not of woman born Those are the times that make
teaching worth while-the times when the children’s enthusiasm leaps up, like
an answering flame, to meet your own, and sudden unlooked-for gleams of
intelligence reward your earlier drudgery No job is more fascinating than
teaching if you have a free hand at it Nor did Dorothy know, as yet, that that
‘if’ is one of the biggest ‘ifs’ m the world
Her job suited her, and she was happy in it She knew the minds of the
children intimately by this time, knew their individual peculiarities and the
special stimulants that were needed before you could get them to think She
was more fond of them, more interested in their development, more anxious to
do her best for them, than she would have conceived possible a short while ago
The complex, never-ended labour of teaching filled her life just as the round of
parish jobs had filled it at home She thought and dreamed of teaching, she
took books out of the public library and studied theories of education.
