Extract
"this was hardly what i intended. What I had meant, of course, that i should boss the Job, and that Harris and George should potter about under my directions, I pushing them aside every now and then with, "Oh, you!" "Here, let me do it" "There you are, simple enough!"- really teaching them, as you might say. Their taking it in the way they did irritated me. There is nothing does irritate me more than seeing people sitting about doing nothing when I'm working."
Q. What had the narrator intended?
Q. Who did the narrator want to teach and what?
