goes back to writing lines and trying to look meek. worries about the ink smudges on her thumb. is conscious that one sock is starting to fall down. hopes that there will be treacle sponge with custard for dinner. doodles bats in the margin. gulps nervously as wandering attention is returned to the paper by an ominously cleared throat nearby. writes lines with gusto.
