In England, it has long been a sort of tradition to teach children at home when the family belonged to the upper social class not to say the aristocracy. Parents thought school was not meant for their offsprings since everybody was able to attend such schools. They had an alternative that consisted in sending them to public schools where only children from the same social class were taught or to have them taught at home at least for the years corresponding to primary school. This was probably a way to protect them from everyday school life and not to mix with anybody. These children had their own teachers or private tutors.

Midway through the ninth year oflrma's employment, Dr Marilyn Lattimore came down with an
uncharacteristic cold and was home for two days.
lt was in the breakfast room that the conversation took place.
Dr Marilyn sat reading the paper and
sipping tea and dabbing at her red, drippy nose.
Irma was in the adjoining kitchen, had removed
5 the covers of the stove-burners and was scrubbing them single-mindedly.
"Do you believe this, Irma? A week of surgeries and I corne down with this arrogant little virus."
Dr Marilyn's voice, normally husky, now bordered on masculine.
"Back in medical school, Irma, when I rotated through pediatrics, I caught every virus known to
mankind.
And later, of course, when I had the children.
But it's been years since l've been sick and
10 I find this positively insulting.
l'm sure some patient gave it to me.
l'd just like to know who so I
could thank them personally."
Dr Marilyn was a pretty woman, small, with honey-colored hair, who looked much younger than
her age.
She walked two miles every morning at six a.m.
Irma said, "You strong, you get better soon."
15 "I certainly hope so ...
thank you for that bit of optimism, Irma ...
would you be a dear and get me
some of the fig preserve for my toast?"
Irma fetched the jar and brought it over.
"Thankyou, dear."
"Something else, Doctor Em?"
20 "No, thank you, dear.
Are you all right, Irma?"
Irma forced a smile.
"Yes."
"You're sure?"
"Sure, yes, Doctor Em."
"Hmm ...
don't spare me because of my cold.
If there's something on your mind, get it out."
25 Irma started to head back to the kitchen.
"Dear", Dr Marilyn called after her, "I know you well, and its obvious something's on your mind.
You wore that exact same look until we had your papers taken care of.
Then you did it again,
worrying about whether or not the amnesty would take effect.
Something's definitely on your
mind."
3o "I fine, Doctor Em."
"Irma."
"I worry about Isaac.".
