Much Promise, Little Performance

Much Promise, Little Performance is short story written in the Marlow universe of Antonia Forest. We are of course on Marlow time, but in this case it coincides with the publication date (1967) of The Ready-Made Family and the events of this piece take place during the Easter holiday contemporaneously with that book.

Two teachers on a train to Paris discuss school politics, bad parenting, societal pressures on teenage girls and the idiosyncrasies of a particular set of pupils.

Warnings: The author chooses not to warn.
