In the interval(课间;休息时间), Miss Honey left the classroom and headed straight for the Headmistress's study. She felt wildly excited. She had just met a small girl who possessed, or so it seemed to her, quite extraordinary qualities of brilliance. There had not been time yet to find out exactly how brilliant the child was, but Miss Honey had learned enough to realise that something had to be done about it as soon as possible. It would be ridiculous to leave a child like that stuck in the bottom form.
 
Normally Miss Honey was terrified of the Headmistress and kept well away from her, but at this moment she felt ready to take on anybody. She knocked on the door of the dreaded private study. "Enter!" boomed the deep and dangerous voice of Miss Trunchbull. Miss Honey went in.
 
Now most head teachers are chosen because they possess a number of fine qualities. They understand children and they have the children's best interests at heart. They are sympathetic. They are fair and they are deeply interested in education. Miss Trunchbull possessed none of these qualities and how she ever got her present job was a mystery.
 
She was above all a most formidable female. She had once been a famous athlete, and even now the muscles were still clearly in evidence. You could see them in the bull-neck(颈部粗壮), in the big shoulders, in the thick arms, in the sinewy(肌肉发达的) wrists and in the powerful legs. Looking at her, you got the feeling that this was someone who could bend iron bars and tear telephone directories in half. Her face, I'm afraid, was neither a thing of beauty nor a joy for ever. She had an obstinate(顽强的;固执的) chin, a cruel mouth and small arrogant eyes. And as for her clothes . . . they were, to say the least, extremely odd. She always had on a brown cotton smock(工作服) which was pinched in around the waist with a wide leather belt. The belt was fastened in front with an enormous silver buckle(扣子). The massive thighs which emerged from out of the smock were encased (包裹)in a pair of extraordinary breeches(臀部), bottle-green in colour and made of coarse twill(劣质的斜纹布). These breeches reached to just below the knees and from there on down she sported green stockings with turn-up tops, which displayed her calf muscles to perfection. On her feet she wore flat-heeled brown brogues with leather flaps. She looked, in short, more like a rather eccentric(古怪的) and bloodthirsty follower of the stag-hounds than the headmistress of a nice school for children.
 
When Miss Honey entered the study, Miss Trunchbull was standing beside her huge desk with a look of scowling(闷闷不乐) impatience on her face. "Yes, Miss Honey," she said. "What is it you want? You're looking very flushed and flustered this morning. What's the matter with you? Have those little stinkers (讨厌的人)been flicking spitballs at you?"
 
"No, Headmistress. Nothing like that."
 
"Well, what is it then? Get on with it. I'm a busy woman." As she spoke, she reached out and poured herself a glass of water from a jug(水壶) that was always on her desk.
