And in Finnemore there was no force to stir anyone to do what they did not want. Only once a day was Gordon at all industrious, and that was when the Chief took the Lower and Upper Sixth Form combined in Horace and Thucydides.
Finnemore lived in two rooms over the masters' common room, which had from time immemorial been the possession of the Sixth Form tutor, and in the evenings when Gordon used to have his prose corrected Finnemore would often ask him to stay behind and have some coffee. Then the two would talk about poetry and art and life till the broken bell rang out its cracked imperious summons.
Macdonald was told to deal with them, but he saw the humour of the affair too strongly to do anything but laugh. "These Cambridge men can't keep order. No good at all. Can't think why the Chief took him." And then, after a pause; "I wish I had been there!" The result of this was that for the future Finnemore was treated with a little more respect.
And so this study was going to be his! He had often sat there with Carter; but he had always felt himself an excrescence. Now it was his own. He pictured the evenings after a hard game of football, sitting in front of the fire; the long mornings when he was supposed to be preparing history for Finnemore, spent in this atmosphere of luxurious calm. He planned his furnishing of the room.
