Abbey rules

about alcohol are perfectly clear: never before the sixth form

and, if every term a shcoolboy’s stomach or two has to be pumped,

there is no need to discuss it. On returning from dinner out

(never just drinking) on a Saturday night, Combe pupils

must report to their housemaster. Why the housemasters

never notice that everyone is completely drunk is a mystery.

It has happened to Marina twice already; she remembers

nothing at all of the first time, and the second she insisted

on walking in a straight line and broke a chair leg. There

are always awful stories: paralytic staggerings into the arms

of the headmaster’s wife, vomit in the Chapel. Today

is the birthday of Selina Knocker, the sweet but stupid child

of the head of the navy who is, physically at least, in Marina’s

Заранее спасибо!

Sally had been studying at a design college for a year and, like most students, she did not have much money. It was going to be her mother's birthday soon, and she wanted to buy her a present that would be nice and useful but not too expensive.

Sally's college was in London, but she had been living in the country for many years, so every day she had an hour's journey by train in the morning, and the same in the evening.

At lunch time one day, a week before her mother's birthday, she decided to have a quick sandwich and a cup of coffee instead of her usual meal in the college hall, and then go shopping near her college to buy her mother a nice present. When she had been looking for half an hour, she came across a shop that was selling umbrellas cheap, and decided that an umbrella would be a nice present, since her mother had lost hers the month before.

'Now which colour shall I choose?' she thought. 'Well, I think a black one would be the most useful. You can carry that when you are wearing clothes of any colour, can't you?' So having made up her mind, she bought a lovely black umbrella and took it back to the college with her until her classes had finished.

On her way back home in the train that evening she felt hungry so she went to the buffet car for another sandwich and a cup of coffee. She had left the black umbrella above her seat in the compartment, but when she got back, it had gone! When she had left the compartment, there had been no other passengers in it, but now there were three.

Sally burst into tears when she saw that the umbrella was no longer there. The other passengers felt very sorry for her and asked what the matter was. When she explained that the black umbrella she had bought for her mother had disappeared, and that she had to get out at the next station, the three other passengers asked her for her mother's address, in order to be able to send the umbrella on to her in case someone had taken it by mistake and not on purpose, and brought it back after Sally had got out of the train.

The next week Sally heard from her mother. Her letter said, 'Thank you very much for your lovely presents, but why did you send me three black umbrellas?'
