Savages and Beasts

(excerpt)

“Mr. Kelly, please inform young Mr. Jonas of what your responsibilities are in this school. The director would like to hire the best person to replace you when you retire and between now and that time we’d like you to train the new man as best as you can on everything and anything pertaining to your job here. Mr. Jonas could be your replacement when you retire”

The old man firstly looked at Anton then at the nun. He scratched his head.

“Yes Sister Gladys, we’ll do the best we can.”

“You have about an hour, before the first recess…the rest can be done slowly day after day, provided the director hires this young man” then turning to Anton she added, “come and see me when done, father Nicolas will talk to you again.”

Anton nodded his agreement and Sister Gladys left him to Dylan Kelly, the old man who eyed him for a few seconds before he said, “let us go around the place so you can see what we deal with and I’ll fill you in with what I do here and I’ll answer your questions, shall we?”
