We all three nestled awfully in a corner one wintry day, when the wind was blowing shrill, with Miss Frost's pinafore over our heads; and Miss Frost told us in a whisper about somebody being 'screwed down. It is the only distinct recollection we preserve of these impalpable creatures, except a suspicion that the manners of Master Mawls were susceptible of much improvement.
We retain no impression of the beauty of Miss Frost if she were beautiful; or of the mental fascinations of Miss Frost if she were accomplished; yet her name and her black dress hold an enduring place in our remembrance. An equally impersonal boy, whose name has long since shaped itself unalterably into 'Master Mawls, is not to be dislodged from our brain.
Retaining no vindictive feeling towards Mawls no feeling whatever, indeed we infer that neither he nor we can have loved Miss Frost. Our first impression of Death and Burial is associated with this formless pair.
"He said lux'ries, mommer, like lowneg dresses, and tchampagne, and ice-cream all like animals," said Kern. "I do declare! Well, they do say the mawls of some of them swells is something nawful. Not alloodin' to your uncle now, well, of course, sir."
Generally speaking, we may observe that whenever we see a child intently occupied with its nose, to the exclusion of all other subjects of interest, our mind reverts, in a flash, to Master Mawls. But, the School that was Our School before the Railroad came and overthrew it, was quite another sort of place.
