"As you know, I was a teacher of arithmetic for forty years. Forty years of being
surrounded by a classroom of healthy prankish students. Forty years of spitballs. Forty years of glue on my seat, Sal Hepatica
in my inkwell, and other devilish tricks. Long about the thirty-sixth year, I started yearning to be alone. This was the main idea behind my trip: to be where no one would

in different classrooms at exact times week after week."
