उत्तर
Miss. Meadow was heartbroken. The letter written by Basil had pierced her heart and she was bleeding. Her hatred and anger became a knife and she carried it with her. Her icy cold response to science Miss demonstrates it. She is least bothered about the tender feelings of young children who look at her face all-time for a friendly nod or smile of approval. Her favorite pupil Mary Beazley is baffled at her treatment of the chrysanthemum she had brought with so much love. The choice of the song “A lament” perfectly jells well with her worst mood. She is in fact in her heart lamenting over the loss of love, trust, and future hopes. She is unnecessarily severe with young children forcing them to redo the singing which drives them to despair, pain, and tears they manage to stifle.
After she receives the telegram from Basil apologizing for his insane letter, her mood changes to joy. She takes the chrysanthemum and keeps it close to her lips to conceal her blush. She goads the children to sing a song of joy congratulating someone for success. She persuades them to show warmth in their voices. Her warm and lively voice dominates the tremulous voices of the young ones. The young ones now realize that Miss Meadow who was in a wax earlier is now in her element.
“My moods don’t just swing – they bounce, pivot, recoil, rebound, oscillate, fluctuate, and occasionally PIROUETTE. ”
