Harding, Amy, and Algernon peer over my should while I take the test and add comments as they deem necessary.
(Following my first essay)
Harding: "Why this is incredible" (58)
Amy: "I can count on one finger the number of times this sort of thing has happened to me" (229)
Harding (In reference to my essay topic over psychoanalysis): "You have already simplified all the work of Freud, Jung, and Maxwell Jones and summed it up in one analogy" (58)
Amy: "Okay, and you're going to have to forgive me here, but I guess I'm going to need a little more explanation" (88)
Algernon (To Amy): "You look perfectly ridiculous" (30)
(The three glance over their shoulders and notice Schiferl working diligently behind me– they address him directly)
Harding: "I had judged from our encounter this morning that you [Sam] were more intelligent" (59)
Algernon: "Really, if the lower orders don't set us a good example, what on earth is the use of them?" (23)
Amy: "Irony is a luxury the doomed can't afford" (230)
Harding: "That's certainly a pleasant analogy, my friend" (58)
(They lose interest with his essay and turn back to my work)
Algernon: "I hope... I shall not offend you if I state quite frankly that you seem to me to be in every way the visible personification of perfection" (38)
Amy: "You're not crazy" (224)
Harding: "Yes, you're becoming sly. Just like the rest of us" (193)
Amy: "It's exciting"
