• Jim : Mrs. Victor, why did the Japanese close the school?

  Mrs. Victor : Because they wanted to punish the grownups.

• Mrs. Victor : I wonder how you'll take to school in England when the war's over.

  Jim : It might be a bit strange. All the same, Mrs. Victor, the best teacher is the University of Life.

  Mr. Victor : Oh, for heaven's...!

  Mrs. Victor : Could we finish our meal, please? We've heard your views on the University of Life.

• Jim : We should eat the weevils, Mrs. Victor.

  Mrs. Victor : Oh, yes, I know, Jim. Dr. Rawlins told you.

  Jim : He said we need the protein.

  Mrs. Victor : Yes, well, Dr. Rawlins is right. We should *all* eat the weevils.
