before i forget -- Scenes from Week 2
scene 1
wednesday, 19 october, ~2pm. outside in the quad. it is drizzling -- not enough to be called raining, but just enough for people to want to get out of it. the photographers have just completed the taking of the college photograph.
fox: [hops up from her chair in the front row, where she got to sit by virtue of being student president, and legs it over to the archway where she can get out of the rain]
others: [follow]
fox: [realizes that others from the front row are bringing their chairs with them, since the chairs have to be brought back inside, and she didn't grab hers; takes up one of the spare ones that wasn't used, instead, and proceeds toward the door]
emeritus fellow: [a few paces behind, carrying a chair] Oh, you shouldn't have to carry that, love. There's plenty of strong men about.
fox: [cheerfully] That's fine -- there are also plenty of strong women. [smiles, hurries indoors where it isn't raining]
scene 2
wednesday, 19 october, ~8pm. governing body dinner.
fox: [is seated between the master and the vice-master. across from the master is the emeritus fellow; across from fox is the dean of degrees; across from the vice-master is the new tutor for admissions. everyone but fox and the vice-master is pretty well sozzled.]
emeritus fellow: [laughing, to master] You should have seen this one this afternoon! Hauling chairs about the place -- I told her there were plenty of strong men about, and she said Yes, but there's also plenty of strong girls!
fox: I'm pretty sure what I said was that there were plenty of strong women.
scene 3
saturday, 22 october, ~midnight. college bar, having stayed out toasting a friend's graduation until the pub closed.
fox: [is at a table with Queen P, a professor on sabbatical, and a guest of the professor's. everyone, by now, is pickled almost beyond recognition.] ... And he says, to the master!, he says, he quotes me as saying Yes, but there's also plenty of strong girls! So I said I'm pretty sure what I said was that there were plenty of strong women, you know what I'm saying?
professor on sabbatical: [nodding his approval] Good for you.
