It looked like she’d bought several lots of jewelry at some old(er) woman’s estate auction (rich husband). She wore a wig which occasionally slipped, huge false claws, er, nails on her wizened, saggy-skinned hands, and lots and lots and lots and LOTS of jewelry. What is THAT? Also, she sorta creeped everyone out. Some boy in the class, who was the son of another teacher and belonged to the country club, wore a ball cap and a coat and said he was Sam from My Side of the Mountain, and he got an A. I mean, I had a fluffy pink sweater and everything. The heroine was into really crazy clothes, but at the end she dressed normally and got a surprise when everyone else wore something crazy to school in her honor. As in, one time we were supposed to come in costume as a character from a book for our reports, so I chose an outfit identical to the heroine of my book at the conclusion. In sixth grade, I had a mean English teacher with a prejudice against the poor kids. ![]()
