Gregory. Next boy. [Walter steps forward.] Name?

Walter. I am Walter, the Miller's boy, and I help my father in the mill.

Anselm. That is right, Walter; we approve of that.

Gregory. You are diligent in the mill. How about lessons?

Walter. Well—I go to school——

Anselm. Are you at the head of your class?

Walter. N-n-n-no, sir.

Anselm. Second, then?

Walter. N-n-no, sir.
