Excerpt from Memories of a School Inspector: Thirty-Five Years in Lancashire and SuffolkAt our first interview, the headmaster, Doctor Hessey, whose pompous manner will live in the memory of his scholars as long as the genuine kindness of heart it nearly concealed, asked me, almost before the butler was out of the room, Which is the first day of the week? Which question like Suffolk Lane foreshadowed my future, but unfortunately my future was not yet there and I could not make the riposte I have since found so useful I am here to ask, not answer questions. I therefore stammered Monday, and in the bewilderment of mind that followed stumbled all through the week to Saturday, never imagining that one lived who could call Sunday a week-day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
