Margie hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers
always had to write them out in a punch code they made her learn when she was six years
old and the mechanical teacher calculated the marks in no time.
The Inspector had smiled after he was finished and patted Margie's head. He said to
her mother, "it's not the little girl's fault, Mrs Jones. I think the geography sector was

ten-year level. Actually, the overall pattern of her progress is quite satisfactory." And he
patted Margie's head again.
