Hattie Jacques Quotes:
Grace Short:
Mr Wakefield, these children, discovered you were planning to leave. They don't want you to leave. It's as simple as that. They feel, as does the entire school, that Maudlin Street, wouldn't be the same without you. They thought of getting up a petition, but decided that wasn't certain to succeed. Besides such an action was considered by them to be, soft, not the Maudlin Street way. So, with all the circumstances in their favour, they decided to make sure, you would never obtain a post anywhere else, and launched their campaign to that end, with the whole school behind them. You may wish to proceed with punishing these boys. Personally, I would count my years in the profession, well spent, if they do half as much, to make me stay among them.
