Lord of the Flies

I've just remembered another little anecdote about the class of hell which amused me. Not so much at the time, when I thought I was going to faint and they were going to start dancing gleefully around my inert body, but afterwards. I was feeling really ill, and obviously looked it. They started giving a running commentary:

' She's looking really pale.'
' No, that's just the English skin. She hasn't had a chance to go to the beach much yet.'
' Now she's sweating...she's gone all red!'
(With interest and faint amusement) 'She's going to fall over.'
