Hilda and Mr. Rothwell in “Trial By Fury”

Mr. Rothwell?

Yeah?

Hi, I’m Hilda Spellman, Sabrina’s aunt. I wanted to talk to you about the test she took today.

Excellent timing, I’ve just finished correcting them. I’ll find hers.

Oh, thanks. See, she’s upset because she thinks she’s failed, but I know she didn’t because she’s very bright and she studied so hard-

[interrupting] She got an ‘F’

[shocked] That’s impossible! Are you sure you added it up right?

[mockingly] Miss Spellman, I’m a math teacher but feel free to double check. [He gets up from his desk to put the marked papers away and shows off an inordinately large butt. Hilda stifles a giggle] There were fifteen questions. The first five were worth forty points, the next five worth forty-five and the last five were worth fifteen. Sabrina got two of the biggies, three of the middies and one of the babies for a grand total of forty-five points. What percent of a hundred?

Oh! I-er... Fifteen questions, one hundred points, thirty-two... I have no idea!

Forty-five percent! Jeez, no wonder she failed...

[gasps] But I didn’t have a chance to study for this meeting!
