This is the chapter where Matilda goes to school for the first time. But she started school a little late. Her form teacher is Miss Jennifer Honey, a mild and quiet teacher who never shouted nor raised her voice. Miss Trunchbull, the Headmistress was something altogether- she was a dinosaur or maybe a devil in disguise. Lessons started and Miss Honey tested the children in their multiplication table. Nobody knew it except Matilda who when told to recite the two times table, didn't stop at twelve times two but went on and on. Miss Honey was fascinated and asked her a few questions but not too much in case the others will feel ignored. Then the school bell rang- the end of the day.
