Are you perhaps refering to the incident when, during her
class, Kit tries to get the children to act out the Parable of the Good Samaritan just
as Mr. Kimberley enters to check the progress of the students? This occurs in Chapter
Nine, and in this chapter Kit discovers another proof of how different life is in her
new home of New England compared to her former life in Barbados. Her attempt to bring
the Bible story to life for the children is shown to be a massive mistake, as is shown
by the response of Mr. Kimberley to Kit's explanations of what she had been trying to
achieve when he walked in:
"Play-acting! And with the
Bible!"
Both
Mr. Kimberley and Reverend Woodbridge are shocked, as shown by the italics in the above
quote, that firstly education should involve entertainment, and secondly, that
entertainment could be linked with the Bible itself.
