Joan Kemp-Welch: School-Teacher

Quotes 

• School-Teacher : Look, girls, there's Juno.

  Professor Horatio Smith : No, madam. Not Juno - Aphrodite Kallipygos.

  School-Teacher : Are you sure?

  Professor Horatio Smith : Well, I ought to know. I discovered her.

  School-Teacher : Really? Uh, she's just come out of her bath. And you see that towel she's having in her hand.

  Professor Horatio Smith : That is not a towel, madam. It is a chiton, a form of drapery.

  School-Teacher : It looks like a towel.

  Professor Horatio Smith : Very good. It's a towel to you, it's a chiton to me.

  School-Teacher : She's the goddess of tem...

  Professor Horatio Smith : No, no, no. The goddess of love.

  School-Teacher : Titch!

  Professor Horatio Smith : Of blissful, wedded love.

  School-Teacher : She's a respectable goddess, girls.

  Professor Horatio Smith : She's practically perfect, as you can see. And in the languishing eye and smiling lips there is a boundless compassion for the folly and ignorance of a blind world.

  School-Teacher : Very jolly. Yes, very jolly. Come away, girls.
