So during each lesson I shall give you one of these text-books to study.”
At the end of the lesson you can come up to me with your questions if you have any and I shall try to help you. How does that sound?”
“Thank you, Miss Honey,” Matilda said. “That sounds fine.”
“I am sure,” Miss Honey said, “that we'll be able to get you moved into a much higher form later on,”
but for the moment the Headmistress wishes you to stay where you are.”
“Very well, Miss Honey,” Matilda said. “Thank you so much for getting those books for me.”
What a nice child she is, Miss Honey thought. I don't care what her father said about her, she seems very quiet and gentle to me.
And not a bit stuck up in spite of her brilliance. In fact she hardly seems aware of it.
So when the class reassembled, Matilda went to her desk and began to study a text-book on geometry which Miss Honey had given her.
The teacher kept half an eye on her all the time and noticed that the child very soon became deeply absorbed in the book.
She never glanced up once during the entire lesson. Miss Honey, meanwhile, was making another decision.
She was deciding that she would go herself and have a secret talk with Matilda's mother and father as soon as possible.
