asleep. Brooke thought what she would say instead. Who invented fireplaces? What is the world’s most dangerous cake? There was Brooke’s father, over by the window in the kitchen with the two letters in his hand. Over less than 80% attendance concerns over Brooke’s truanting behaviour no doubting Brooke’s intelligence however conduct leaves a great deal to be desired is what the letter from the head said. There was her mother patting the chair next to her. Tell us. CLEVER-CLEVER CLEVEREST. Alfred the Grate. Attila the Bun. Right, Mr. Warburton shouted. Project books away. History charts out. Daniel. Give out these photocopies. Thank you. A vibrator, Brooke said to herself under her breath to nobody, is a thing which vibrates.)

The The fact is notes will all go here. Brooke is sitting on one of the wooden benches near the river along from the place where you go down into the tunnel and she is counting the blank pages in the History Moleskine. The The fact is notes will go after the note about being vegetarian, which came first in real time, and then there will be the note about Mrs. Young, and then the The fact is notes. The the! It is funny to say two the’s. So there are times you don’t need a the at all, and there are other times you need more than one the. There are sixteen of the the the the the—! so many the’s all said together sounds like a car that won’t start—there are sixteen The fact is notes. That will need thirty-two pages or sixteen double pages. And then the piece will come which she will write down for historic records about visiting Mr. Garth on Wednesday, and that will take up a page or maybe two, so probably (she counts the pages) that will be on this page, and then the fact that Mr. Garth has left the room will need to be written down here. And then that will be the end of this history, at least the bit that has Mr. Garth actually in it. Though it might be a good idea to leave some pages blank at the end in case there is anything else that happens, in case the history isn’t over. There are definitely enough pages. There are loads. She keeps her finger in the right place in the book and she gets the pencil out. She starts at the top of the page, in her best handwriting. On Wednesday 7th of April Two Thousand and Ten at about half past two pm 1430 in 24 hr time Brooke Bayoude went in and sat in Mr. Garth’s room after she knocked on the door and said would he like a cup of tea and he said he would. The tea was Marks & Spencer’s Earl Grey tea the one that comes in a black box. The Milk was Skimmed kind. Brooke Bayoude made the tea in the Lees’ Kitchen. On the way up the stairs she did not spill it on the stair carpet. When she gave it to him he did not want sugar which was just as well because she had not brought any up stairs. Mr. Garth was very well and Brooke Bayoude said it was nice to see him and he said it was nice to see her. Brooke Bayoude asked him if he remembered her and he said yes he did. He told her some good jokes including the one about the grandads and grannies and there was also another astronomically long joke which was a variation on the Knock! Knock! kind of jokes, about “will you remember” see later in History). Brooke Bayoude then asked Mr. Garth if he would like a biscuit because she knows where they are kept in the Lees’ Kitchen. Mr. Garth Declined. Then the time for the visit alas was over and Brooke Bayoude said goodbye and Mr. Garth did too and they shook hands. Brooke Bayoude then closed the door after her and took the mug down stairs she washed it out at the sink and did not put it in the dish washer because the dish washer was full of Clean things. It was the mug that has the picture on it of a tiger which Mr. Garth drank out of on that historic day. Brooke Bayoude dried the mug and put the mug back in the cupboard. She reads over what she has written so far and then checks to see if she is keeping her lines level. It is not too bad for it being blank paper, it only slopes a bit at the ends where the writing has to get smaller to fit the words in, which is only natural. She reads
