Mr. Hawkins, the headmaster, stopped Anna one day at the school gate.
“Now,” he said, “I want you to tell me the ________, my dear.” Feeling something terrible had happened, Anna said slowly, “________.”
“I have had a most ________ accusation(投诉) made against you by Mrs. Bond.”
“Mrs. Bond?” said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet little ________ of a child. As far as Anna could remember she had never had ________ to speak an angry word to the girl.
“Mrs. Bond,” went on Mr. Hawkins, “told me that you scolded (责备) her daughter yesterday afternoon.”
“Scolded?” cried Anna. “I certainly didn’t do that. ________ Not in school.” She added honestly.
Mrs. Bond’s________was that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said she set out from home a little late.
“Just a minute.” Said Anna, beginning to ________. “She did come late, very late. I had marked her ________, of course. Then she ________ slowly in, when we’d started our paper—cutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance (讨厌). She didn’t appear to hear, and was certainly quite ________.”
“A nuisance!” Mr. Hawkins couldn’t ________ it and asked, “You are sure you said nuisance?”
“I may not even have said that.” Anna replied, “I was not angry at all at that moment—________ I certainly didn’t scold.”
“Mrs. Bond said that you called her child a ‘nuisance’. Is that true?”
“Indeed it isn’t.” said Anna. “The child or the other had ________ it up!”
