I reported the exodus to the responsible teacher, who put the two Abdiels into the singing class. Thereupon, the singing master reported that he had no pianist and asked if I would play for him. Never have I forgotten that experience. My class promptly defied their mothers and deserted the arithmetic class and arrived, not out of loyalty to me, but to combine with the singing class in making the most appalling remarks that can be imagined. The mildest was that it was a put-up job between myself and the master to hang over the piano together.

Aprons came off, hair was brushed and faces and hands were washed. An immense improvement was noticeable and an inspector came round who was most complimentary. The school began to respect themselves and to modify their language. It was an uphill job, but after six months, when the school closed for the summer, it was a blazing success.
