　go　back　till　you　are　not　fit　for　Standard

Three。　I　shall　examine　all　books　every　Monday〃

Then　in　a　rage；　he　went　away　with　his　cane；　leaving　Ursula　to

confront　a　pale；　quivering　class；　whose　childish　faces　were　shut

in　blank　resentment；　fear；　and　bitterness；　whose　souls　were　full

of　anger　and　contempt　for　her　rather　than　of　the　master；　whose

eyes　looked　at　her　with　the　cold；　inhuman　accusation　of

children。　And　she　could　hardly　make　mechanical　words　to　speak　to

only。　That　was　her　duty。　In　school；　she　was　nothing　but　Standard

Five　teacher。　Ursula　Brangwen　must　be　excluded。

So　that；　pale；　shut；　at　last　distant　and　impersonal；　she　saw

no　longer　the　child；　how　his　eyes　danced；　or　how　he　had　a　queer

little　soul　that　could　not　be　bothered　with　shaping　handwriting
