And your considered view is that the Agamemnon is muck?
Well no sir, i dont think the play is muck- exactly. I suppose in a way, its rather a good plot, really, a wife murdering her husband and all that. I only meant the way it is taught to us- just a lot of greek words strung together and fifty lines if you get them wrong.
You sound a little better Taplow.
I am rather sir.
No sir , extra work.
Extra work - on last day of school ?
Kept in, eh?
Yes, sir, and I might be playing golf. You'd tink he'd have enough to do anyway himself,considering he's leaving tomorrow for good- but oh no, I missed a day week when I was ill- so here I am- and look at the weather sir.
Bad luck. Still there's one comfort. You are pretty well certain to get your remove tomorrow for being a good boy in taking extra work.
Well, I'm not sure sir. That would be true of the ordinary matters , all right. they just would'nt dare togive a chap aremove after his taking extra work .
But those set of rules dont apply to the Crock- Mr Crocker harris. I asked him yesterday outright if he'd given me a remove and do you know what he said , sir?
"My dear Taplow, I have given you exactly what you deserve , No less; and no more." Do you know sir , I think he may have marked me down, rather than up, for taking extra work.
