The First Two Weeks at School

He didn’t know what to expect.  The past year had been uncertain.  Today the train from London was uneventful.  He had already visited the school a few days before but the shock began when he entered the grounds on this the first day.  He had to adjust rapidly to life here.

The other boys were quite polite.  The scale of this world was large.  Everything happened within the school, there was no need to go out at all it seemed and no pause until fixed weekend exeat.

He was the subject of some curiosity, though after a few days he had already answered most of their questions.  Where are you from?  You sound different.  It was only after two weeks that he believed he had settled in.
