Death At St. Asprey’s School (1967) - Plot & Excerpts
Asprey’s School Chapter Fourteen Carolus, coming somewhat late to breakfast next morning, noticed an air of tension among the boys and an empty chair where Matron usually sat. “Please, sir, Chavanne’s going to get the stick after breakfast,” Lipscomb informed him. “Most suitable,” said Carolus stirring his unduly weak tea. “He pulled Matron’s chair away,” Lipscomb went on, “just as she went to sit down. She went a most terrific crasher.” “I don’t think that was very funny,” said Carolus. “Please sir, nor did she, sir. She went most terrifically red in the face. She told Mrs. Sconer and Mrs. Sconer told Mr. Sconer to give Chavanne six of the best.” “Is this true, Chavanne?” “It’s frightfully unfair, sir. I was only rehearsing ‘Then slip I from her bum, down topples she’.” “Don’t be vulgar, Chavanne.” “Please sir, that’s not vulgar. It’s Shakespeare.” “Thank God the two are sometimes synonymous,” said Carolus. “Now finish your breakfast.”
