Handsome Devil Page #3

There is no limit to what

you can learn from reading.

And with that in mind, I'm

assigning you an essay,

the essay is due on Friday

and the title of the

essay is a family member.

And before you consider how dull

and how asinine the

title of that essay is,

let me tell you that I'm aware

how dull and asinine it is

and I want to own the dullness.

Reveal to me who you are.

If you dare.

In the meantime, we're going

to be reading lord of the flies

by Golding, a cautionary

tale about giving power

to an impressionable mass of

fragrant and unkempt urchins.

Not that that's every

gonna happen in my class.

Okay, books open

please, page one.

The boy with fair hair

lowered himself down

the last few feet of

the rock and began

to pick his way

toward the lagoon.

Though he'd taken

off of school sweater

and trailed it

now from one hand,

his gray shirt stuck to him.

Go away, thank you.

Woah.

Sorry, sir, I thought

you were a pupil.

No.

What's with the Berlin wall?

It's a matter of necessity.

Right, who's your roommate?

Oh honestly, I don't know.

Right well I've

got a delivery for.

No way you can make

him feel welcome, no?

Yeah, see, he's

a rugby player so,

believe me, my friendship

would be a hindrance.

That's quite a persecution

complex you got going on there.

Thank you.

You gonna let

me hear something?

Well, I can't play

and even if I could,

I don't think I'd play

anything that you'd like.

Just play something.

Okay, so that's d.

That's d.

Is d your only...

d is my only chord, yeah.

I see, okay well,

lift the finger up to

that one, higher there.

Yep, now play.

Now you know another chord.

See you.

Sir, I'm really really

sorry, I know I'm late,

it's just, I couldn't

find my boots,

I thought I put them in my bag

and I thought my bag was in

my classroom but I left...

Conor, relax.

You're new, it happens.

The lads are running drills

out there, get ready,

I'll go out with you.

Get you introduced.

Once you cross that

white line, Conor,

I want you to concentrate

on just one thing.

Express yourself.

Good to go?

Yeah.

After you.

Everyone, this is Conor.

Conor won the junior cup

at st Barts last year kicking

19 points in the final, huh?

I asked him up with

the seniors so he sees

what we're made of, give

him something to aspire to.

Also, give Wallace a

bit of competition.

You've met our captain Victor,

apart from him, far too

many names to remember

but I'll give you the gist.

Key Chafrey, prop.

Tom Quillin, current

place kicker.

We get our speed

from this fellow.

Scrum half one, two.

Chief wrecking ball.

Okay, line out, first

against seconds,

Conor, play a 10 for the first.
