An Unsocial Socialist

Set in an old English country house, the story introduces a thoughtful woman in her forties who emerges into the dusk, reflecting on her surroundings. As she smooths her hair, she gazes out of a tall window towards the darkening landscape, appreciating the tranquility. Her moment of contemplation is interrupted by a whisper from above, drawing her attention to Class Room No. 6, where she pauses to observe the elegant architecture of the staircase. The narrative captures a blend of introspection and the serene beauty of the setting.
