them forward as an alternative choice, or something to do in addition to the
clay models they were working on.
18. As I mentioned before, there were six of these students
in our class of eight, and I have to apologize to you my reader, and also to
those men because I have described them as if they were all simply various
versions of the exact same person. I will admit that they all looked the same
and seemed to always speak with the same tone of voice.
19. The little clay models they worked on were all so
similar that it sometimes happened that when we all returned from our break,
they were unsure what sculpture belonged to what policeman. Almost all of them
opted to give up what they were working on, so as to start in casting from
molds.
20. I say, “almost all of them,” because there was one
individual who declined to give up on him clay model, which we now noticed was
actually quite advanced. How it was that we had all overlooked what he had been
doing can only be explained as an example of the extreme prejudice Mrs. Festini
had toward these men, a prejudice which I must confess I shared.
