While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and waiting to do something useful. I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.
However, three days later, a letter arrived, asking me to go to Corydon for an interview. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning.
It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. "Ah yes," he grunted, "you’d better come inside." The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage, the walls were dirty with ink marks. His study, judging by the bits of bread on the carpet, was also his dining room. " You’d better sit down," he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions.
The school consisted of one class of twenty-four boys, ranging in age from seven to thirteen. I should have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself.
The teaching set-up filled me with fear. I should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels; and I was dismayed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry-two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school.
I said shyly, "What would my salary be?" "Twelve pounds a week plus lunch. " Before I could protest, he got to his feet. "Now," he said, "You’d better meet my wife, she is the one who really runs this school. "
This was the last straw. I was very young; the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.
The author thought that the headmaster used his study as a dining-room because______.
