Through the glass darkly

Thu, Apr 07, 2022

She was a teacher of some sort, and the incident took place in what must have been a playschool, though as this was perhaps 60 years ago, when such things were hardly known, I cannot be sure.

And what she was doing, or trying to do, was to get me to address her by her first name. And I wouldn’t – I couldn’t – do it.
