The
village
school
for
younger
children
was
a
bleak
brick
building
called
Crunchem
Hall
Primary
School
.
It
had
about
two
hundred
and
fifty
pupils
aged
from
five
to
just
under
twelve
years
old
.
The
head
teacher
,
the
boss
,
the
supreme
commander
of
this
establishment
was
a
formidable
middle
-
aged
lady
whose
name
was
Miss
Trunchbull
.
302
Naturally
Matilda
was
put
in
the
bottom
class
,
where
there
were
eighteen
other
small
boys
and
girls
about
the
same
age
as
her
.
Their
teacher
was
called
Miss
Honey
,
and
she
could
not
have
been
more
than
twenty
-
three
or
twenty
-
four
.
She
had
a
lovely
pale
oval
madonna
face
with
blue
eyes
and
her
hair
was
light
-
brown
.
Her
body
was
so
slim
and
fragile
one
got
the
feeling
that
if
she
fell
over
she
would
smash
into
a
thousand
pieces
,
like
a
porcelain
figure
.
303
Miss
Jennifer
Honey
was
a
mild
and
quiet
person
who
never
raised
her
voice
and
was
seldom
seen
to
smile
,
but
there
is
no
doubt
she
possessed
that
rare
gift
for
being
adored
by
every
small
child
under
her
care
.
She
seemed
to
understand
totally
the
bewilderment
and
fear
that
so
often
overwhelms
young
children
who
for
the
first
time
in
their
lives
are
herded
into
a
classroom
and
told
to
obey
orders
.

Some
curious
warmth
that
was
almost
tangible
shone
out
of
Miss
Honey
s
face
when
she
spoke
to
a
confused
and
homesick
newcomer
to
the
class
.
305
Miss
Trunchbull
,
the
Headmistress
,
was
something
else
altogether
.
She
was
a
gigantic
holy
terror
,
a
fierce
tyrannical
monster
who
frightened
the
life
out
of
the
pupils
and
teachers
alike
.
There
was
an
aura
of
menace
about
her
even
at
a
distance
,
and
when
she
came
up
close
you
could
almost
feel
the
dangerous
heat
radiating
from
her
as
from
a
red
-
hot
rod
of
metal
.
When
she
marched
Miss
Trunchbull
never
walked
,
she
always
marched
like
a
storm
-
trooper
with
long
strides
and
arms
aswinging
when
she
marched
along
a
corridor
you
could
actually
hear
her
snorting
as
she
went
,
and
if
a
group
of
children
happened
to
be
in
her
path
,
she
ploughed
right
on
through
them
like
a
tank
,
with
small
people
bouncing
off
her
to
left
and
right
.
Thank
goodness
we
don
t
meet
many
people
like
her
in
this
world
,
although
they
do
exist
and
all
of
us
are
likely
to
come
across
at
least
one
of
them
in
a
lifetime
.
If
you
ever
do
,
you
should
behave
as
you
would
if
you
met
an
enraged
rhinoceros
out
in
the
bush
climb
up
the
nearest
tree
and
stay
there
until
it
has
gone
away
.
This
woman
,
in
all
her
eccentricities
and
in
her
appearance
,
is
almost
im
-
possible
to
describe
,
but
I
shall
make
some
attempt
to
do
so
a
little
later
on
.
Let
us
leave
her
for
the
moment
and
go
back
to
Matilda
and
her
first
day
in
Miss
Honey
s
class
.
306
After
the
usual
business
of
going
through
all
the
names
of
the
children
,
Miss
Honey
handed
out
a
brand
-
new
exercise
-
book
to
each
pupil
.
307
"
You
have
all
brought
your
own
pencils
,
I
hope
,
"
she
said
.

"
Yes
,
Miss
Honey
,
"
they
chanted
.
309
"
Good
.
Now
this
is
the
very
first
day
of
school
for
each
one
of
you
.
It
is
the
beginning
of
at
least
eleven
long
years
of
schooling
that
all
of
you
are
going
to
have
to
go
through
.
And
six
of
those
years
will
be
spent
right
here
at
Crunchem
Hall
where
,
as
you
know
,
your
Headmistress
is
Miss
Trunchbull
.
Let
me
for
your
own
good
tell
you
something
about
Miss
Trunchbull
.
She
insists
upon
strict
discipline
throughout
the
school
,
and
if
you
take
my
advice
you
will
do
your
very
best
to
behave
yourselves
in
her
presence
.
Never
argue
with
her
.
Never
answer
her
back
.
Always
do
as
she
says
.
If
you
get
on
the
wrong
side
of
Miss
Trunchbull
she
can
liquidise
you
like
a
carrot
in
a
kitchen
blender
.
It
s
nothing
to
laugh
about
,
Lavender
.
Take
that
grin
off
your
face
.
All
of
you
will
be
wise
to
remember
that
Miss
Trunchbull
deals
very
very
severely
with
anyone
who
gets
out
of
line
in
this
school
.
Have
you
got
the
message
?
"
310
"
Yes
,
Miss
Honey
,
"
chirruped
eighteen
eager
little
voices
.
"
I
myself
"
,
Miss
Honey
went
on
,
"
want
to
help
you
to
learn
as
much
as
possible
while
you
are
in
this
class
.
That
is
because
I
know
it
will
make
things
easier
for
you
later
on
.
For
example
,
by
the
end
of
this
week
I
shall
expect
every
one
of
you
to
know
the
two
-
times
table
by
heart
.
And
in
a
year
s
time
I
hope
you
will
know
all
the
multiplication
tables
up
to
twelve
.
It
will
help
you
enormously
if
you
do
.
Now
then
,
do
any
of
you
happen
to
have
learnt
the
two
-
times
table
already
?
