American Poetry - 1922 - A Miscellany |

’
‘But I don’t know enough 1 I’ve never taught anybody anything, except
cooking to the Girl Guides You have to be properly qualified to be a teacher ’
‘Oh, nonsensei Teaching’s the easiest job m the world Good thick
ruler-rap ’em over the knuckles They’ll be glad enough to get hold of a
decently brought up young woman to teach the youngsters their abc That’s
the line for you, m’ dear-schoolmistress You’re just cut out for it ’
And sure enough, a schoolmistress Dorothy became The invisible solicitor
had made all the arrangements in less than three days It appeared that a
certain Mrs Creevy, who kept a girls’ day school m the suburb of Southbndge,
was m need of an assistant, and was quite willing to give Dorothy the job How
it had all been settled so quickly, and what kind of school it could be that would
take on a total stranger, and unqualified at that, in the middle of the term,
Dorothy could hardly imagine She did not know, of course, that a bribe of five
pounds, miscalled a premium, had changed hands
So, just ten days after her arrest for begging, Dorothy set out for Ringwood
House Academy, Brough Road, Southbndge, with a small trunk decently full
of clothes and four pounds ten in her purse-for Sir Thomas had made her a
present of ten pounds When she thought of the ease with which this job had
been found for her, and then of the miserable struggles of three weeks ago, the
contrast amazed her It brought home to her, as never before, the mysterious
power of money In fact, it remmded her of a favourite saying of Mr
Warburton’s, that if you took 1 Corinthians, chapter thirteen, and in every
verse wrote ‘money’ instead of ‘charity’, the chapter had ten times as much
meaning as before
2
Southbndge was a repellent suburb ten or a dozen miles from London
Brough Road lay somewhere at the heart of it, amid labyrinths of meanly
decent streets, all so mdistinguishably alike, with their ranks of semi-detached
houses, their privet and laurel hedges and plots of ailing shrubs at the
crossroads, that you could lose yourself there almost as easily as m a Brazilian
forest Not only the houses themselves, but even their names were the same
over and over again Readmg the names on the gates as you came up Brough
Road, you were conscious of being haunted by some half-remembered passage
of poetry, and when you paused to identify it, you realized that it was the first
two lines of Lycidas
Rmgwood House was a dark-looking, semi-detached house of yellow brick,
three storeys high, and its lower windows were hidden from the road by ragged
and dusty laurels Above the laurels, on the front of the house, was a board
inscribed in faded gold letters
RINGWOOD HOUSE ACADEMY FOR GIRLS
Ages 5 to 1 8
Music and Dancing Taught
Apply within for Prospectus
Edge to edge with this board, on the other half of the house, was another
board which read
RUSHINGTON GRANGE HIGH SCHOOL FOR BOYS
Ages 6 to 1 6
Book-keeping and Commercial Arithmetic a Speciality
Apply within for Prospectus
The district pullulated with small private schools, there were four of them in
Brough Road alone Mrs Creevy, the Principal of Rmgwood House, and Mr
Boulger, the Principal of Rushington Grange, were in a state of warfare,
though their interests m no way clashed with one another Nobody knew what
the feud was about, not even Mrs Creevy or Mr Boulger themselves, it was a
feud that they had inherited from earlier proprietors of the two schools In the
mormngs after breakfast they would stalk up and down their respective back
gardens, beside the very low wall that separated them, pretending not to see
one another and grinning with hatred,
Dorothy’s heart sank at the sight of Rmgwood House She had not been
expecting anything very magnificent or attractive, but she had expected
A Clergyman’s Daughter 36 9
something a little better than this mean, gloomy house, not one of whose
windows was lighted, though it was after 8 o’clock m the evening She knocked
at the door, and it was opened by a woman, tall and gaunt-lookmg m the dark
hallway, whom Dorothy took for a servant, but who was actually Mrs Creevy
herself Without a word, except to inquire Dorothy’s name, the woman led the
way up some dark stairs to a twilit, fireless drawing-room, where she turned up
a pinpoint of gas, revealing a black piano, stuffed horsehair chairs, and a few
yellowed, ghostly photos on the walls
Mrs Creevy was a woman somewhere in her forties, lean, hard, and angular,
with abrupt decided movements that indicated a strong will and probably a
vicious temper Though she was not m the least dirty or untidy there was
something discoloured about her whole appearance, as though she lived all her
life in a bad light, and the expression of her mouth, sullen and ill-shaped with
the lower lip turned down, recalled that of a toad She spoke in a sharp,
commanding voice, with a bad accent and
occasional
vulgar turns of speech
You could tell her at a glance for a person who knew exactly what she wanted,
and would grasp it as ruthlessly as any machine, not a bully exactly-you could
somehow infer from her appearance that she would not take enough interest in
you to want to bully you— but a person who would make use of you and then
throw you aside with no more compunction than if you had been a worn-out
scrubbing-brush
Mrs Creevy did not waste any words on greetings She motioned Dorothy to
a chair, with the air rather of commanding than of inviting her to sit down, and
then sat down herself, with her hands clasped on her skinny forearms
‘I hope you and me are gomg to get on well together.

But neither Miltonic nor Greek is Keats's marvellous treatment of nature
as he feels, and makes us feel, the magic of its mystery in such a
picture as that of the
tall oaks
Branch-charmed by the earnest stars,

When the chill rain begins at shut of eve,
In dull November, and their chancel vault,
The heaven itself, is blinded
