A Certain Small Shepherd

"The play went without many hitches. At one point, the cardboard ox fell down in a sudden draught from the vestry door, and Joseph's crepe beard came adrift from one ear. This, however, was replaced swiftly by one of the shepherds, hissing 'stand still, stand still!' whilst adjusting the wire over his classmate's left ear, and we all waited for the performance to continue.

It would not have been right to have a school affair like this without some minor mishap, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."

Yes, we did thoroughly enjoy ourselves!
