" - it was then that I saw, rather than smelled, the tiger."
"What happened then!?", demanded the children.
"He ate me", said Jorkins, matter-of-factly, "It is a ghost that is speaking to you now."
And all the fuss that followed in that dim room was blamed entirely on me.

Ah, the CNE midway; what ever happened to Darling Dora, One-Third Ton of Jolly Fun - ?
Five-Star etiquette discipline for lunch in the 2nd grade. Was this a Catholic institution?

I don't remember Dora, but I DO remember someone billed as 'The Happy Frog Boy' who turned out to be a sorry looking middle aged man in a bathrobe who had some sort of dropsy.
I just HAD to see him because he was the frog boy. Me and frogs, right?
Re school, it was Anglican.
