Sometimes she is roasting an ox in her room, or hanging a teacher ("Well, that's O.K.-now for old 'Stinks' "), or merely stretching a chum out on a medieval rack. On nature walks, she likes to collect poisonous mushrooms ("Chuck those out-they're harmless"), would hardly ever go boating without making at least one lowerclassman walk the plank.
