原文
The day went by like a dream. Anne could never clearly recall it
afterwards. It almost seemed as if it were not she who was teaching
but somebody else. She heard classes and worked sums and set copies
mechanically. The children behaved quite well; only two cases of
discipline occurred. Morley Andrews was caught driving a pair of trained
crickets in the aisle. Anne stood Morley on the platform for an
hour and . . . which Morley felt much more keenly . . . confiscated his
crickets. She put them in a box and on the way from school set them free
in Violet Vale; but Morley believed, then and ever afterwards, that she
took them home and kept them for her own amusement.
