You are reading whole sentences aloud out of the book. Mademoiselle is sitting in the wicker chair behind the big desk which comes all the way to the floor so you can’t see her legs. She is reading from the same book as yours. Denise Baume is repeating a sentence. Helene Corte has already read this sentence but she could not finish it.
You leave her sitting down. As you go down the steps you can hear her crying loudly. I? J l Veine Dieu is at the blackboard. She is mak ing a mess of her multiplication. The board is behind Mademoiselle’s platform, so that Mademoiselle turns halfway around in her chair and twists her neck to watch her. From the side you can see her bun and half of her glasses, one of the steel rims with glass in it. The frame is hooked behind her ear. You can see it clearly because her hair is pulled back by the bun.

You stop to make weewee because nobody is around. You squat down. You watch thejarme make patterns in the dust, the little golden \fills imn around islands, then disappear under the thick leaves that look like rhubarb. Big flies buzz by. Veronique Legrand says, W hat is meat made of. It is made of the stuff in your nose, all the nasty 30 things that are found in noses.
