Herr Kamyer was twitching about in his sad suit. It’s sort of tight round the neck and short round the ankles. Do normal people wear tartan socks? Anyway, he was adjusting his spectacles and saying, “So zen, girls, ve haf the interesting question about ze physical world. Ver question is (twitch twitch), vich comes first…ze chicken or ze eggs?”

No one knows what he is talking about so we just carried on writing notes to each other or making shopping lists. Ellen was actually painting her toenails. You would think that Herr Kamyer would notice that she had her head underneath the desk, but he didn’t seem to.

He really does jerk around. He sort of blinks his eyes and screws up his nose and flings his head round all at once. Someone said it was because he has had malaria. Once when he was walking across the playground and it was icy he had such a spasm that he slipped and crashed into the bike shed. Elvis had to restack sixty bikes. He grumbled for about forty years. You would think Elvis would have more sympathy for the afflicted. As he is so afflicted himself.

Suddenly about ten girls started sneezing really violently. Really violently, like their heads were going to blow off. Their eyes were streaming and they were stumbling for the door. Jackie Bummer managed to say, “Oh we must be…ATISHOO…ATISHOO…allergic to something in the science lab, Herr Kamyer. ATISHOO!”

They all got sent home in the end.

I found out later what the Bummer Twins’ meeting was about They had made everyone at the meeting put bath crystals up their noses in the middle of physics, and that had brought on the sneezing attacks. All because the Bummers wanted to go to some club in Manchester, and needed to be home early.

Good Lord. Three days to my date with the Herring.
