The child had stared at the ceiling as though trying to work out a difficult problem in algebra and then said, ' I expect I will.'
It was as if she'd already known, and had dealt with it in some way. Miss Butts had asked the teachers to watch Susan carefully. 'I'm sorry to say that it appears you have been missed in lessons again.'They'd said that was hard, because . . .There was a tentative knock on Miss Butts's study door, as if it was being made by someone who'd really prefer not to be heard. She returned to the present.'Come,' she said.The door swung open.Susan always made no sound. The teachers had all remarked upon it. It was uncanny, they said. She was always in front of you when you least expected it.'Ah, Susan,' said Miss Butts, a tight smile scuttling across her face like a nervous tick over a worried sheep. 'Please sit down.''Of course, Miss Butts.'Miss Butts shuffled the papers.'Susan . . .''Yes, Miss Butts?'
