Richard: [on the phone] But I have to tell you, Emily, it's a whole new world from the one we remember.
Emily: But the jacket was still appropriate?
Richard: Oh, the jacket was fine. Although I must say, I felt wildly overdressed. Boys in undershirts and filthy baseball caps, the girls wearing pajamas and flip-flops.
Emily: Well, it's the style, Richard.
Richard: Well, it's most peculiar.
Emily: And you were firm with them? That's one thing that never changes. Young people respond to discipline. After all, you don't want your course to be known as a "gut." That's an easy class. I learned that term at dinner with the Sudburys, who learned it from their grandson, Paul.
