Tell the Truth

　　

　　Miss Enderby, the headmistress, stopped Anna one day in the passage(走廊).

　　“Now,”she said,“I want you to tell me the truth, my dear.”“Naturally,”said Anna shortly, fearing something terrible had happened. What on earth had she done? Could that light pat(轻拍) on the side of Betty head have made her seriously ill? Had that tablet(药片)given to Johnny for his headache yesterday caused his death during the night?

　　Miss Enderby explained before Anna could think of further worrying possibilities.

　　“I have had a most serious accusation(遣责、非难) made against you by Mrs Bond.”

　　“Mrs Bond?”repeated Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet little mother of a child. As far as Anna could remember she had never had caused to say an angry word to the girl.

　　“Mrs Bond,”went on Miss Enderby seriously,“tell me that you swore(咒骂) at her daughter yesterday afternoon.”

　　“Swore?”cried Anna heatedly.“I don't swear. At least not in school,”she added honestly.

　　“But never, never at Janet Bond. There's never been any need.”

　　“Mrs Bond's story is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon According to her, the child had to spend some time in the W.C, which meant she set out from home a little late.”

　　“Just a minute,”said Anna, beginning to understand.“she did come late, very late. I'd called the roll and marked her absence, of course. Then she wandered in , when we'd started our papercutting , and I believe I said she was a nuisance(讨厌的家伙). She didn't appear to hear, and was certainly quite unmoved and cheerful.”

　　“Ah, a nuisance.”Miss Enderby jumped on the word.“Yor're sure you only said a nuisance?”

　　“Mrs Bond said that you called her child‘blasted(该死的) nuisance’. Is that true?”

　　“Indeed it isn't.”said Anna,“The childor the motherhas made it up!”

　　Miss Enderby's face softened and she patted Anna's shoulder.

　　“As I doubted, my dear, but of course I had to make sure.”
