" Ruby's hand shot up. "Mrs. Schneiderman, could I possibly be excused? I just remembered something really, really urgent that I must do."
Mrs Schneiderman looked bewildered. "But Ruby, this is history, you are in class, how can I excuse you without a note?"
"Good point," said Ruby, and she began to scribble something on a piece of Redfort headed notepaper. Then she handed it to Mrs. Schneiderman.
"But Ruby, you just wrote this, the ink is still wet."
"Just wave it around a bit, it'll dry in no time," Ruby had already gathered up all her things and was heading to the door.
"But that's not what I meant, I mean it wasn't written by your mother."
"Don't worry, Mrs Schneiderman, my mom would give you the big 'OK' if only she was here - look, it has her signature."
Mrs Schneiderman looked at the note, and indeed it did.
My daughter Ruby is to be excused from history if she feels an urgent need to be somewhere else.
Yours faithfully, S Redfort.
P.S. thank you for teaching my daughter about the Jade Buddha of Khotan, lord knows I've tried.
By the time Mrs Schneiderman could form a word, Ruby had already skidded down the corridor and was very nearly out of the school gates. "
