I don't. Pause. GYEM

What else do you teach here ? OWL

Come up and I will tell you. Gyem climbs carefully up the roots and sits beside the huge head of the Owl, who blinks at him wisely. OWL

I have classes in Make - Believe, Interest and Don't -Bother -Me. GYEM

Which gives you the most trouble ? OWL

Turning towards him, remarks significantly : The class in Don't-Bother -Me. GYEM

Why ? OWL

What kind of questions ? OWL

questions and warm-hearted questions. GYEM

What is the difference ?
