I like the metaphor of comparing her to a rainbow...The second is quite the emotional contradiction to the first.

These two are extremely good, even for you. The second one gives a very clear insight into a fragment of war life

Re: Oh, my, not bad enough with war and the blitz,
I suppose it seemed a small pain when folk were being killed daily Pat. Never mind the teacher is a rainbow now.

Re:
There have always been abusive teachers Adnohr little dictators with their swishy canes.
Even my Grampy had to go and threaten one with a good hiding if he ever touched any of his boys again. He didn't. A bit too much the other way now probably, kids attack the teachers.

Oh, my, not bad enough with war and the blitz,
we've got to have a sadistic teacher with a metal-edged ruler. It was that adversity we had to overcome, and being able to write it so clearly readers could see it is a triumph. I loved the rainbow. As Taps says, two entirely different places in the mind.

The first is so pleasant, the second so sad.
What a combo. But, that's the way life is--up one minute and down the next.
