The Lettermaker points to A
A is the letter of the day
No-one knew what to expect from the new teacher
No-one expected the new teacher
The suit Sir wore was Sir's credentials
Perhaps his only credentials, how were we to know?
The Lettermaker on his desk
Wooden, square with a big A inside
A loan from the primary school perhaps?
Him too?
Abbot at the back
Yes? Said Abbot at the back
Get O-ver here
Where?
To the front, Abbot at the back
Beside me
He said he had come to teach us a lesson
And why not?
He was a teacher
You share your name with the letter of the day Abbot at the front
How fortunate
A smile from Abbot
A quick smile
F-Grade English
The dregs of society
Such praise from one's Headmaster
Sir was no better teacher
But there was no better teacher for us
His insistence on addressing only Abbot a redeeming feature indeed
Although the answer to every question was A
Anyway
Stay behind Abbot at the front
You have learnt your lesson
Abbot was leaving us
Good for Abbot
The Lettermaker says B
You will sing the letter of the day for me
Bailey at the back
B
Sang Bailey at the back
Now come to the front Bailey at the back
Beside me
Lesson number 2
Especially for Bailey it seemed
It suited us
You share your name with the letter of the day Bailey at the front
So now your lesson
She answered B, then B, then B again
Some kind of test obviously
Easy anyway
Bailey stayed at the front, having learnt her lesson
Good for Bailey
An upgrade
I used to know Abbot and Bailey
The Lettermaker says C
The letter of the day now C
Come to me Collins on the left
Come to the front for your lesson
Beside me
And so on...
...d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p, (no Q), r,s...
...until Thompson
The letter of the day was T
Thompson was trouble
Thompson was me....
