Book Cover & Preview Text
Miss Laurence really did have trouble controlling the class and on one memorable occasion, as the noise in the class rose to a towering crescendo, ran from the classroom in tears. Brother Wilfred, who didn’t wear the seemingly obligatory black cassock and white dovetailed collar that adorned the rest of his Brotherhood, and had been teaching in the next room, stormed into our classroom, came to a majestic halt by the teacher’s desk, stared angrily round the room and drawing himself up to his full height, thundered a single word, “ROTTERS!”
