Mrs Frawley introduces a new classmate.
“Boys and girls, please welcome Peter into our class.”

On the left: Peter Herrmann - the intelligent interloper with the nice smile. And me looking as if I was planning mischief. Class 4A.
He immediately makes his mark.
His hand shoots up for every question … irrespective of subject!
Can’t even get the better of him in English – his 2nd language.
Tops the class … keeps the pace for years more.
