Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Imperfect Mother ´Meaning to say, sir?´ queried Hall II. in his brightest manner. ´Meaning to say, Hall, that when you send me up an essay composed almost entirely of quotations from standard authors, you might at least have the honesty to admit your authorities.´ The class roused itself from the wearied air proper to this last hour in English literature. Old Sercombe was not one of the regular masters at the King´s School, and the general opinion held by the nine boys who came to him for instruction was that the subject had been tacked on to the ordinary school work in order to give him a job. They had no respect for his particular form of scholarship, and Hall II. had expressed the popular feeling when he had said that ´any fool could teach English.´ Moreover, the class was held at the tail of the week, and both master and boys accepted the fact that the second hour on Friday afternoon was just a tune to be ´got through´ - particularly in the hot weather. The prospect of a sparring match between old Sercombe and young Hall, presented itself as quite a desirable means of ´getting through´ the present lesson. Young Hall was rather good at a rag of this kind. His father was editor of the Medborough News, and it was therefore a fair inference that the son ought to ´know something about writing.´ The class stiffened to a new alertness.
