M
Margaret
Lower Fourth
Grave, scholarly, and the school's finest Latinist. It is Margaret who at last translates the motto, and so tells the whole school what has been carved over its own front door for a hundred and fifty years.
- She loves
- A dead language, brought back to life. Getting a translation exactly, unimprovably right.
- She fears
- Approximation. A thing said nearly, but not quite, correctly.
What she is not telling you
She gave the school its own words back, and thought nothing of it, which is precisely the sort of quiet gift the school is built out of.
