Good morning.

Window, please.

Gosh. A dirty

blackboard already.

Where's Suzie, please?

Anyone know?

she's run away

to London, miss.

with Alfred Egerton

in science fifth.

Has she been in touch

with her parents?

Yes, miss.

Good.

She said she couldn't

see the point of school.

No?

Well, sometimes,

I have that problem.

Anyone else?

Anyone else want to go?

Right, then.

For those of us

still remaining-

Us maniacs, assorted

oddballs, eccentrics,

Folk who still think

education is worthwhile-

I suggest we keep trying.

All right, everyone?

Good.

Then, let's work.

How are you?

How are you?

I'm better.

How's Marcia?

Tremendous.

Oh, yes.

The charity bridge tournament

takes up all her time.

When you're a boy, you think,

"oh, it's so easy".

Always wipe

the slate and move on.

Then, with the years, you find

you become a prisoner of dreams.

A girl ran away

this morning.

Good luck to her.

Yes.

Good luck.

To all our escapes.
