I find Rosalie's 'crush' on Tom a bit odd, fast and
unmotivated, and I find Tom (a) very quick to understand what is going on
and (b) unexpectedly sensitive about it, given her 'boyish' lack of
sentiment and her training in despising schoolgirl emotionalism - the word
'disgust' is used of the way her father has trained her to think of it,
which is a very strong one for EBD! |

Why the ticking off about calling mistresses 'teachers'? The only other time I can think of when a mistress is called a teacher is at the school Ros Lilley attends before she goes to the CS - is it a usage associated with lower-class speech? Or with a low-grade school? Or is it just childish? I have a feeling it comes up somewhere in Antonia Forest too. |
