“Chapter Five The World of Timothy Pratt County Hall sent the document ‘Rationalization – Small Schools in North Yorkshire’ to all schools in the Easington area explaining why the high costs of maintaining small schools had resulted in the closure of four schools last academic year.

The floor had been swept, the shelves were dusted, the counter gleamed and the door bell had received its weekly burnishing with Brasso polish. Everything was as it should be and all the stock was, of course, in perfect alphabetical order. Timothy, or Tidy Tim as he was known in the village owing to his obsessively fastidious nature, liked order, particularly alphabetical order.
