Then an accident happens… And that is when she discovers that: “As a psychologist she was a first-rate teacher of French”! Highly satisfying, worth reading book. There is a lot of daily routine explained-bells ringing at 5:30 am, and, horror of horrors: the “healthy” food served at meals-but Miss Pym stays and much longer than she had originally planned. ![]() The story slowly unwinds when Miss Pym is invited by by her old school friend, Henrietta Hodge, to be guest lecturer at Lays, a girls’ physical training college. Just don’t expect a crime committed at the beginning and be patient. She read a “book on psychology out of curiosity” then “she read all the rest to see if they were just as silly.” (Smart girl!) “In fact, the thirty-seven volumes seemed to her so idiotic and made her so angry that she sat down there and then and wrote reams of refutal.” And so, she became a best-seller author. She is soft and feminine and round and pink! Pym, an ex-French instructor, inherited a little bit of money and retired to a life of leisure. Another very well written story by Josephine Tey. ![]()
