“John has lately been more industrious. With his excellent ability he is now a credit to the school.”,They all smile, and say, "Yes, indeed," or "Oh, yes, indeed," or plain "Yes," in a breath. They all feel intensely obliged to Violet for her very ordinary little remark.,"Don't talk like a penny illustrated," says Mr. Rodney in a very superior tone.
