William looked older than his 17 and three-quarters and had discovered beer and the pub. That day he was about 20 minutes late for our group (really a small class of about a dozen of us) and wandered in in a polo shirt and slacks without any evidence of having done a lick of work since the last class. This was NOT William, he was studious, reliable, and a courteous lad. When McNulty ‘thanked him for gracing us with his presence’ in his sarcastic manner (they teach that at Teachers Training College) we expected an apology and a half-hearted excuse; it would have worked at that stage in our scholastic careers; we were all working very hard and under an awful lot of pressure and we were ‘lightly’ supervised.
