Meet Paul
Paul, the headmaster, was at a loss. And what exactly was happening here? Not knowing what to do, he did nothing. Thomas needed to tell his story right away, but he couldn’t catch his breath. To try and calm Thomas down, Paul offered him a drink. Once Thomas got going, it was easy to follow.
Lost For Words
Paul was lost for words. He insisted on listening to the tape himself. The events Thomas just described definitely aren’t happening at Thomas’s school. Even less so did he know Callum. We saw him for a very brief period of time. But from what he had heard from Callum, everything went swimmingly. Then he began to pay attention.
