Miss Thompson, whose form ma

a lesson in spelling the other day. He
had spelt be, be, and he, he, and
now she was trying to get him to tell

nounced the sound of a long m, and
opening them, the sound of a long e.
What does that spell?"
Bobby looked at her and shook his
head. Again she tried, and this time.
while pronouncing the sounds, she
vigorously tapped her own rotund
chest with her plump forefinger.
"Mmum, ee. What letters am I say
ing and what do they spell?" she
asked, still vigorously tapping her
chest.
