Then he helped Sheila put her coat on. ‘What shall we do now, Arthur?” she said. Arthur wanted to be alone, so he made an excuse and said, “There are some letters I've got to write, actually.

A record number of books were taken out in the first week of February and the staff of Middleford Library did a lot of overtime. At the beginning of February the weather suddenly got very cold; the temperature dropped to ten degrees below zero and snow fell every day. Conditions at 21 Gladstone Avenue were pretty miserable. Mrs Harrison had arranged for central heating to be installed but it had not yet been put in. Arthur’s room was heated by a gas-fire which had to be fed with coins every couple of hours or so. 45ANSWE 46 One Friday night Arthur came home at 8.30. The pipes were frozen and he had no 50p pieces for the gas meter. “This is the last straw.’ he thought. ‘I'm going home.” He telephoned his parents, wrote a note for Mrs Harrison, got in his car and started off for Applefield. He arrived home at about midnight and went straight to bed.

I should have cleaned it weeks ago but it’s been impossible because of all your things all over the place.” So Arthur went upstairs and began to sort out all his belong- ings. There were a lot of things that ought to have been thrown out ages ago. Among the things he found were some old school reports from St Mark’s Grammar School where he was edu- cated. They had been put into the drawer years ago and hadn't been taken out for ages. Arthur looked through these and thought about some of the boys and masters he used to know Most of the boys had done much better than he had; they had all either got good jobs or were studying at university Arthur hadn't worked very hard, especially in his last two years at school. Instead he used to waste his time and everybody said he ought to have worked much harder. Unfortunately, he failed his A-level examinations and his parents were very disap- pointed. In their opinion he should have become a doctor like his father,- \ sT \s"|a | R 7 | Mee | Late Sue \ ents 4 —— ENGLISH pa \ \ vant FRENCH MATHE ST MARK'S y GRAMMAR \ SCHOOL Report on Fjtwy Newtow 5 Term Form 5c te Age iabutverage Age’ ye84Form Position p24 Late teusAbsent3dey Detained primes — 2255hny, | suspect | % | COMMENTS INITIAL at exaust Levent ? 4 ENGLISH Literature | 3.9) wat 32 FRENCH 27 CHEMISTRY BioLoGy Prysics ot | Feinly good seoananny | 40. | Does net thy, piviNity Kee, (Ke, has done no wsork this am DP pgtice den tC ougat to mote ume effat MC sora suede ssfol eam reswlt; fous sean ‘had PE.8 GAMES meatal shaborwn | AR Mabou Az pay atau A 53ANSWER og Bune rine When he left school, he found it very difficult to get a decent job.

All his friends seemed to be much more successful in life than he was. Jennifer, on the other hand, had a very good time there. She must have danced with almost all of Arthur’s old friends. Arthur couldn’t dance very well. Besides, he was too shy to invite anyone to dance with him so he sat and thought about his future. What could he do? He couldn’t go to university because he didn’t have enough qualifications. Besides, where could he get the money? He did not want to stay at the library. The money was not good enough for him and he couldn’t get promo- tion without more qualifications. He didn’t like Mr Steele and Mr Steele didn’t like him. Anyway the work was not interesting enough.

Mr Morgan’s secretary had said that he should buy a copy of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Chaucer's Prologue to the Canterbury Tales and Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities Arthur had read Julius Caesar but he had not read the other two. His lecturer, Mr Greenslade, told him that the classes in English were once a week on Tuesdays and the Economics classes were on Thursdays At eight there was a quarter of an hour’s break and they all went for a drink in the college canteen. Arthur was very sur- prised to find Mary and Sheila sitting in the canteen. Neither of the two girls had told him that they were attending evening classes. He asked the girls if they would like another cup of coffee. Mary said that she didn’t want anything but Sheila said she would have another cup of coffee and a cream doughnut Arthur went and got them and came back to their tableANSWER © _———————————————— Sis |S a7 sere Jae Sheila told him that she was on a keep-fit course and Mary said she was studying cookery.

Arthur wondered whether she was serious when he saw her eating the cream doughnut but he didn’t say anything Neither of the girls was looking very happy and Arthur won- dered why."

In this particular programme, the quiz~ master asks three questions. If the contestants answer the three questions correctly, then the contestant chooses a number between one and ten. For each number there is a different prize. Sometimes the prizes are worth a lot of money and some- times they are something worthless like an empty matchbox or an.old shoe. Arthur, Mrs Harrison and Mr Smithers were watching a young man answer some questions. First of all he was asked what the capital of Scotland was. This was a very easy question, of course, and the contestant answered that it was Edinburgh Next, the quizmaster asked him where Mt, Everest was and the young man answered this question correctly too. Finally he was asked which was heavier—a pound of lead or a pound of feathers and again he gave the correct answer that they were both the same. Then the quizmaster asked the contestant which number he wanted. He chose number seven, saying that this was his lucky number. The quizmaster opened the envelope marked No. 7, and told him that he had won the Treasure Chest, which contained £200 BMrs Harrison asked Arthur why he didn’t go in for one of these quizzes. Arthur thought it was a good idea, so when the address for applications for entry to the quiz was put on the screen, Arthur wrote it down on a piece of paper. Then he got out his writing-pad and wrote the following letter. 21 Gladatene Uenue, Mi BERKS 2nd. pnt 4 FRosen ‘Midland, WeeRond, Jeoviaven RO.

Worst of all they did not know whether Arthur had won a prize or not, because they were not able to see the programme. So they waited for Arthur to arrive but he did not come home until 12.30 a.m. When he finally got home he was able to tell them what had happened in the quiz. First of all the quizmaster had asked him what the longest river in the world was. Arthur had told him that it was the Nile, and this, of course, was the right answer. Then he was asked what language they spoke in Brazil, and Arthur said that it was Portuguese. Before the quiz- master asked Arthur the last question he talked to him about his job. He asked Arthur if he was married or if he had a girl- friend. At this question Arthur wasn’t able to say anything. He blushed and became embarrassed. So the quizmasier quickly asked the final question, which was: ‘Which English king had six wives?’ Of course, Arthur was able to answer this ques- tion—he told the quizmaster and the audience that it was Henry VIL Then the quizmaster told Arthur to choose an envelope. He chose number eight. At this point both Arthur and the audience were very nervous. The quizmaster opened the envelope and read the piece of paper inside. It said that Arthur had won the holiday for two on the Costa Brava. The audience clapped and cheered. After this the television company gave Arthur and the other contestants a dinner and then Arthur said goodbye, and left for home= © Arthur drove down the motorway and was home fairly soon.
