404 A Clergyman’ s Daughter
swallowing about a bucketful of this stuff during the day She confided to
Dorothy that she always took a Thermos flask to school and had a nice hot cup
of tea during the break and another after dinner Dorothy perceived that by
one of two well-beaten roads every third-rate schoolmistress must travel Miss
Strong’s road; via whisky to the workhouse, or Miss Beaver’s road, via strong
tea to a decent death m the Home for Decayed Gentlewomen
Miss Beaver was m truth a dull little woman She was a memento mon , or
rather memento senescere , to Dorothy Her soul seemed to have withered until it
was as forlorn as a dried-up cake of soap m a forgotten soap dish She had come
to a point where life in a bed-sitting room under a tyrannous landlady and the
‘efficient’ thrusting of Commercial Geography down children’s retching
throats, were almost the only destiny she could imagine Yet Dorothy grew to
be very fond of Miss Beaver, and those occasional hours that they spent
together in the bed-sitting room, doing the Daily Telegraph crossword over a
nice hot cup of tea, were like oases in her life
She was glad when the Easter term began, for even the daily round of slave-
driving was better than the empty solitude of the holidays Moreover, the girls
were much better m hand this term, she never again found it necessary to
smack their heads For she had grasped now that it is easy enough to keep
children m order if you are ruthless with them from the start Last term the
girls had behaved badly, because she had started by
treating
them as human
beings, and later on, when the lessons that interested them were discontinued,
they had rebelled like human beings But if you are obliged to teach children
rubbish, you mustn’t treat them as human beings You must treat them like
ammals-driving, not persuading Before all else, you must teach them that it is
more painful to rebel than to obey Possibly this kind of treatment is not very
good for children, but there is no doubt they understand it and respond to it
She learned the dismal arts of the school-teacher She learned to glaze her
mind against the interminable boring hours, to economize her nervous energy,
to be merciless and ever- vigilant, to take a kind of pride and pleasure in seeing
a futile rigmarole well done She had grown, quite suddenly it seemed, much
tougher and maturer Her eyes had lost the half-childish look that they had
once had, and her face had grown thinner, making her nose seem longer At
times it was quite definitely a schoolmarm’s face, you could imagine pince-nez
upon it But she had not become cynical as yet She still knew that these
children were the victims of a dreary swindle, still longed, if it had been
possible, to do something better for them If she harried them and stuffed their
heads with rubbish, it was for one reason alone because whatever happened
she had got to keep her job
There was very little noise in the schoolroom this term Mrs Creevy,
anxious as she always was for a chance of finding fault, seldom had reason to
rap on the wall with her broom-handle One morning at breakfast she looked
rather hard at Dorothy, as though weighing a decision, and then pushed the
dish of marmalade across the table
‘Have some marmalade if you like, Miss MillbOrough,’ she said, quite
graciously for her
A Clergyman 1 s Daughter 405
It was the first time that marmalade had crossed Dorothy's bps since she had
come to Rmgwood House She flushed slightly ‘So the woman realizes that I
have done my best for her,’ she could not help thinking
Thereafter she had marmalade for breakfast every morning And m other
ways Mrs Creevy’s manner became-not indeed, gemal, for it could never be
that, but less brutally offensive There were even times when she produced a
grimace that was intended for a smile, her face, it seemed to Dorothy, creased
with the effort About this time her conversation became peppered with
references to ‘next term’ It was always ‘Next term we’ll do this’, and ‘Next
term I shall want you to do that’, until Dorothy began to feel that she had won
Mrs Creevy’s confidence and was being treated more like a colleague than a
slave At that a small, unreasonable but very exciting hope took root m her
heart Perhaps Mrs Creevy was going to raise her wages' It was profoundly
unlikely, and she tried to break herself of hoping for it, but could not quite
succeed If her wages were raised even half a crown a week, what a difference it
would make'
The last day came With any luck Mrs Creevy might pay her wages
tomorrow, Dorothy thought She wanted the money very badly indeed, she
had been penniless for weeks past, and was not only unbearably hungry, but
also m need of some new stockings, for she had not a pair that were not darned
almost out of existence The following morning she did the household jobs
allotted to her, and then, instead of going out, waited in the ‘morning-room’
while Mrs Creevy banged about with her broom and pan upstairs Presently
Mrs Creevy came down
‘Ah, so there you are.
