Kimbolton School

I went to school in a large village called Kimbolton in the county of Cambridgeshire. In recent years I have been reminded of my time there by, strangely enough, the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling.

The first and most obvious reason is that Kimbolton is a castle school; just as Hogwarts is the castle school for Harry and his friends. Hogwarts is of course filled with ghosts, such as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington — better known as Nearly Headless Nick: But Kimbolton also has a reputation for being haunted and in fact lays claim to a very famous ghost. This is Katherine of Aragon — the first wife of Henry VIII. She was sent there in April 1534 after refusing to accept the legality of Henry’s divorce proceedings. When I arrived there as a first year in September 1971, I was told that her ghost was often seen — but only from the knees upwards. This, I was told, was because she walked on the original rather than the later modern floors. I am ashamed to confess that at times we set up “ghostly” tricks to scare our friends. These usually involved almost invisible fishing lines being used to “mysteriously” open and close cupboards or move chairs.

There are other comparisons to be made however. In Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School there are four “houses”; Gryfinndor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and the dark house, Slytherin. The four houses being named after famous headmasters of Hogwarts’ past. At Kimbolton we also had four houses named for the same reason. They were called Ingram’s, Bailey’s, Dawson’s and Gibbard’s. As I recall there were no sinister connotations with any house although probably the Slytherin equivalent was Gibbard’s. At the time Gibbard’s was the house for “day boys” who lived at home and travelled to school each day. The other houses were for the “borders” that lived in the castle. The dayboys were nicknamed “day bugs” and the residents were called “border bugs”. I was a day bug.

There were common rooms and detentions which I suppose all schools still have. But few schools, like Kimbolton, have narrow, long corridors lined with portraits whose eyes seem to follow you round! Mind you — none of our paintings spoke to us as they sometimes do at Hogwarts! Kimbolton also has a fantastic staircase in the castle and huge murals by the Italian Rococo painter Pellegrini.

Apart from the castle, ghosts and houses there were other comparisons to Hogwarts. The teachers (who were called masters) also wore black gowns and addressed us only by our surnames. We pupils had to wear suits and ties to school and actually were not allowed to take our jackets off unless the day was exceptionally hot.

But there were some fairly important differences too. Firstly Kimbolton, at the time I was there, was a school only for boys. It has changed since, but then we had no Hermione Grangers to fight against evil with. We played football and cricket rather than Quidditch and took ‘O’ Levels rather than OWLS. That is “Ordinary” Level exams rather than “Ordinary Wizarding Levels”. But still, looking back on it all, I have to say that I, at least, thought the place was rather magical.

1) had the same names as houses at Hogwarts.

2) got their names as in Hogwarts.

3) selected students similarly to Hogwarts.

4) had different reputation as at Hogwarts.

15. The house the narrator belonged to

1) was the privileged one.

2) had an evil reputation.

3) was similar to other houses.

4) had one particular difference.

16. The narrator thinks Kimbolton was not like other schools as it had

1) common rooms.

2) a special system of punishments.

How It Was

Every school holiday we worked on the farms. Often it was pea picking but we also harvested runner beans, potatoes, black currents and strawberries - each in their season. Sometimes we travelled quite a distance to work. The incredible thing, looking back on it, was that our parents never seemed to worry about us. Sure enough there were occasional tales of terrible accidents or of children being attacked or kidnapped - but no one thought about such things then.

We would disappear early, on our bikes, and not return until dark. Just the thought of letting my own kids do the same today gives me kittens. But back then, that’s how it was. All the harvesting was paid for by the bag or the box. The faster you worked, the more you earned. In one 5 week season I earned about J400. That was seriously good money in the 1970s - probably the same as my Dad earned. And we knew how to spend. We were always treating ourselves to something. But usually the aim was to pay for a holiday before school started again. Of course we often had family holidays when we were younger. But we kids also took our own holidays. Usually it was camping but my focus was beach holidays. Wales was my favourite locations. Again I still can’t imagine how our parents were brave enough to let us go. I can only assume they were not worried: That and the fact that as children they had their own adventures. Both my parents were small children during the war and were evacuated from London to be safe from Hitler’s bombs. They went in the clothes they were wearing plus a small suitcase — sent to unknown (in advance) villages and to the care of strangers. My teenage beach holidays probably seemed a stroll in the park to them and they took our safety for granted.

Nowadays there seems to be a climate of fear around my generation, concerning the safety of our children. Has the world really changed so much? May be it’s just that the media makes us think more about the horrible things that do happen?

Mind you - there was one close shave when I was a kid. It was on one of our Welsh camping holidays. We would have been 15 at the time. I fell asleep on a floating lilo and got swept out to sea. I was only asleep for second and at first was not worried. I began to swim steadily pushing the lilo back to the beach - but after 10 minutes, to my horror, I was no closer to shore. In a panic I jettisoned the lilo so I could swim properly and then swam with all my strength. After another 10 minutes still I made no progress. Then completely irrationally I started worrying about sharks. I knew that there are no dangerous sharks there but just the thought paralyzed me. I told myself not to panic. The sea was really calm and I knew that the tide had to change at some point. I also knew my friends on the beach would call the coastguard. The shore seemed miles away, exhaustion was kicking in and I realized also that I was cold. Shark fins began to circle in my imagination. I was in despair. You hear about accidents and drowning at sea but never imagine that it’s going to be you.

My rescue was sharp and sudden. Hands on my wrists and ankles and I was swung into the boat. I was absolutely fine when I got back to shore. I am ashamed to say I lied about my age to prevent my parents finding out about it all.

12. The parents didn’t seem to worry about the narrator and his/her friends as

1) farm work was part of a regular school summer camp.

2) the farm was not far from where the children lived.

3) there were no obvious cases of child abuse in the region.

4) some parents worked on the same farm.

13. The expression “gives me kittens” in the second paragraph means

1) amuses me.

2) scares me.

3) fascinates me.

4) captivates me.

14. The payment for the farm work the children got depended on

1) the type of seasonal harvest.

2) the number of hours spent on the farm.

3) the speed at which they moved.

4) the amount of harvested berries or vegetables.

15. The children earned money mainly to

1) provide for their independent holidays.

2) afford tasty treats for themselves and friends.

3) help the family budget.

4) buy camping equipment.

16. The narrator thought his parents’ evacuation

1) helped them to be calm about safety issues.

2) helped them to deal with strangers.

3) was like a stroll in the park.

4) was a source of serious stress.

17. The narrator thinks his generation is probably more fearful because

1) they didn’t experience the war.

2) there are more unstable people around.

3) the media deliberately highlights awful stories.

4) their childhood was too safe and trouble free.

18. The narrator has additional problems during his accident in the sea because

1) he wasn’t a good swimmer.

2) the tide was so strong.

3) the thought of sharks terrified him.

4) there was no coast guard around.

By Process of Elimination

“Thank you for agreeing to meet with me here” was all he said for the first few moments. His European accent paused between each word before disappearing into silence. As for the 11 dancers sat around the lounge, there was a clear atmosphere of resentment. Regardless of how famous this detective most undoubtedly was, they all felt this was a matter for the police But there were no police on board and the ship captain’s had requested the detective to conduct an initial investigation.

“I have to tell you” he continued “that I have discovered who the murderer is and can further inform you that the murderer is sat here, amongst us, in this room”.

Again there was silence. It had always been unlikely that any of the liner’s other guests had motive or opportunity. From the start it had always been probable that one of the dancers was a murderer.

“I have to admit” he continued “that this case has been more than usually hard on the little grey cells” he tapped his head as he always did when referring to his deductive powers. “Everybody in this room had a reason to kill poor Phoebe” he continued. There was no disagreement around the room. Nobody denied that they had hated Phoebe Miller. One way or another Phoebe had made life really difficult for all of them.

The detective began a long and perhaps over detailed summary of all the things he had discovered and soon everybody was quite bored. Some of them began to feel quite sleepy as he went on and on. However their attention was caught by the following words.

“Ladies and gentlemen. Apart from Constance Miller, who was not on stage at the time, the rest of the dancers were performing on stage at the time of the murder. We therefore know that 10 of you are absolutely innocent. I know this because there was no trace of poison in the bottle from which the glass of wine was poured. This means that someone added the poison after the glass had been poured and that glass was poured ...during...the performance.”

He paused enjoying the dramatic effect of his words and continued “By process of elimination you might assume that I am about to accuse the sister — Constance Miller”.

“I did not do it” screamed Constance instantly, “I swear I did not do it. I hated her but I am innocent”.

“I do know, Constance, that you are not guilty of this crime” he continued but was drowned out by all the dancers’ exclamations of confusion and bewilderment. He held up his hand and continued slowly but forcefully “but I can assure you dear lady that the murderer is in this room and is seated directly behind you”. There was a gasp as everyone turned to stare at the middle-aged waitress sat at the back of the room next to the other staff. “Probably none of you know even her name but I have discovered this. She is not Sally Watkins as she is known to the crew of this ship — but Sally Miller — the wife of George Miller who was the uncle of Constance and Phoebe. Sally I can assure you had the opportunity to handle that glass but most of all, as I will now demonstrate to you, she had the motive: Revenge!”

12. The eleven dancers were resentful because

1) they had not been allowed to perform for three days.

2) their colleague had been murdered.

3) they would have preferred a police investigation.

4) they didn’t like the ship’s captain.

13. The famous detective was conducting the case because

1) they would soon be in Southampton.

2) four ships’ officers were available to make an arrest.

3) the ship was still at sea.

4) the captain had asked him to.

14. No one disagreed when they heard the murderer was in the room because

1) they all had been jealous of Phoebe.

2) all of them had hated Phoebe.

3) the murder must have been committed by somebody on board.

4) the case had been unusually difficult to solve.

15. Ten of the dancers were proved innocent because

1) they were performing at that time.

2) the glass of wine was poured during the performance.

3) Constance Miller was not on stage at the time.

4) there was poison in the bottle.

16. Constance screamed out her innocence because she

1) knew she was guilty.

2) could prove it.

3) believed the detective was about to accuse her.

4) hated Phoebe.

17. The detective knew Constance was not guilty because

1) he had discovered who the real murderer was.

2) of the confusion amongst the other dancers.

3) she was not on stage when the murder took place.

4) she hated Phoebe.

18. Sally Miller killed Phoebe Miller because

1) George was Phoebe’s uncle.

2) her real name was not Sally Watkins.

3) she had the opportunity.

4) she wanted revenge.
