Observations.

Sea horses are fascinating creatures.


Also, "syllabus" is a funny little word.  Doesn't contain half the dreariness and labor involved in compiling it.

I'm both shocked and appalled that you think I wouldn't be doing a unit on that book.

[allons_y_alonso]

Well, it is the first thing I mentioned! I thought it was likely!

[rule_britannia]

Shall I set up an extra desk for you, then? I'm sure no one will notice, if you're quiet.

... On second thoughts...

[allons_y_alonso]

On second thought?

[rule_britannia]

You are capable of being quiet in class, aren't you?

[allons_y_alonso]

Mmmm.

Quiet's not my best thing.

[allons_y_alonso]

I've got an idea!

[rule_britannia]

Well do share it, lad!

[allons_y_alonso]

Guest lectures!

[rule_britannia]

... Marvellous! That would be absolutely smashing.

[allons_y_alonso]

You could come by and give some perspective on Agincourt, the Norman Conquest, and the Battle of Britain. And I could fill in a little bit of biographical detail on authors! Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie... William Shakespeare...

[rule_britannia]

Hmm..

I could do that. It'll mean digging up some rather unpleasant memories, but all in the name of education, hm?

[allons_y_alonso]

If there are different subjects you'd rather cover...

[rule_britannia]

No.

It's time I put my experiences to a use that doesn't involve being on a sodding battlefield. A man can only spend so long being haunted by his memories and I think I ought to start putting mine to rest.

[allons_y_alonso]

That's the spirit!

Pleasure to be working with you.

[rule_britannia]

I had a feeling you might say something like that.

Likewise, of course.
