First Term At Malory Towers
“The girls groaned over this, except the quick ones, like Irene, who delighted in it. But it meant that there was no need for anyone to open a desk, because it was all oral work.
Miss Potts was lenient with the girls, for it was a very hot afternoon. Darrell was glad that Miss Potts was not as exacting as usual, for arithmetic was not her strong point, especially mental arithmetic.
The next lesson was to be taken by Mam'zelle Dupont. It was to be a French conversation lesson, in which th...e girls would endeavour to answer all Mam'zelle's simple questions in French. Miss Potts left, and Mam'zelle arrived, not quite so beaming as usual, because of the heat. She was too plump to enjoy the hot weather, and little beads of perspiration shone on her forehead as she sat down at the big desk, opposite the rows of girls.
“Asseyez-vous,” she said, and the girls sat down thankfully, feeling that the only lesson they would really enjoy that weather would be a swimming lesson.MoreLess
